Planning a pooja for a festival?
Book a poojaDates follow the civil (English) calendar for easy planning. A tithi — the lunar day that actually governs a festival or vrata — can begin or end partway through a day, so it sometimes spans two civil dates or fits within one. When an observance seems to shift, follow the tithi shown beside each date.
Tithi and moon phase are computed astronomically (Lahiri); regional variation may occur.
