A full Moon rises as the Sun sets and sets as it rises, which is the check anyone can make without an almanac: on this date the Moon rises at 7:20 PM against a sunset of 7:06 PM, and sets at 4:53 AM against a sunrise of 5:29 AM. The tithi ends at 20 May, 4:29 PM — the instant the Moon is exactly 180° from the Sun.
