How the date is set
It is kept in the lunar month of Bhadrapada, Shukla paksha Chaturthi, on the day of the tithi prevailing at midday (madhyahna).
Lunar months here are amanta (new moon to new moon); in the purnimanta reckoning used in much of North India, the Krishna paksha belongs to the next month. Communities follow their own rules for some festivals, so a local almanac may keep a few on a neighbouring day.
Dates are computed with this site's panchang (Lahiri ayanamsa) for New Delhi. Times of sunrise and the tithi differ by place, so a date can shift by a day for cities far from Delhi; the calendar pages recalculate for your city. All festivals →
