How each date is found

the words in the rows above

Each festival is a tithi, a lunar day, in a month of the Purnimanta calendar North India follows, where a month ends on the full moon. A tithi begins and ends at a real minute, so each festival also names the moment of the day its tithi is read at:

at sunrise

the tithi running when the sun comes up

in the afternoon (aparahna)

the fourth of five equal parts of daylight

after sunset (pradosh)

pradosh kaal, the evening after sunset

at midnight (nishita)

local midnight, 12 AM

at midday (madhyahna)

the middle of the daylight hours

A tithi is shorter than a day, so now and then one begins after a sunrise and ends before the next: it touches no sunrise, and is called kshaya. A festival on such a tithi is kept on the day it begins, and its row says so.
