About this Hindu calendar
Every tithi, nakshatra and Hindu date is computed from the Sun and Moon under the Lahiri ayanamsa, matched to within about one arcminute of a reference ephemeris. The tithi shown for each day is the one prevailing at local sunrise for your chosen city. Festival dates follow each festival’s own prevailing time rule.
