How these dates are assigned
Civil dates follow this site's New Delhi Panchang model at Indian Standard Time (Asia/Kolkata) noon. A tithi is 12° of Moon–Sun elongation; it can begin or end at any hour, so a vrat observed at sunrise or night may fall on the previous or next Gregorian day. Tithi start and end clock times are not published here because this model does not compute them. Confirm muhurat with a city Panchang for your latitude, longitude and regional tradition (Amanta or Purnimanta).
