பஞ்சாங்க விதியும் கணிப்பும்

• How the day is fixed: related tithi, nakṣatra, or saṅkramaṇa from local sunrise.
• Keep in mind: Tithi and nakshatra end times in the pañcāṅga follow the sunrise of each town. So the day can come one day earlier or later depending on where you live.
• This year: The 2026 date shown here is worked out from sunrise at the place you chose, so in another city the same day can fall a day earlier or later.
