2 वश ष ठ यशम न पक ष यत र क ल य न द ग गश त क य द श यत त न पक ष क य श थ य श शन य Biggest misconception is Indian Hindu festivals observance date in the Indian calendar / panchang is applicable for all location in world. Many people contact their parents to find the observance dates for Indian Hindu festivals. Some use their favorite panchangam from india to find an observance date for an Indian festival. In reality observance dates from indian panchangam is valid only in India and is not transferrable to other locations. THE INDIAN DATE TITHI: What is Indian date Tithi? Why it is different from an English date? Why it is not exactly 24 hours? The Indian date or Tithi is A lunar day, or the time it takes for the longitudinal angle between the Moon and the Sun to increase by 2. Tithis begin at varying times of day and vary in duration from approximately 9 to approximately 26 hours. This definition clearly says an Indian Tithi is based on the following: Daily motions and celestial longitude positions of the Sun and the Moon. Hence it is a celestial event and they begin and end at the same instance all over the world. Because longitudes of the Sun and the Moon isn t local to one particular country. They happen at the same instance. Longitudes of the Sun and the Moon are calculated from the center of the Earth. The distance between them is measured in terms of degrees of longitudes and maximum degrees in a circle or ellipse is 360 degrees. Each day is 2 degree distance between the Sun and the Moon. Length of English date is fixed 24 hours whereas Tithis begin at varying times of day and vary in duration from approximately 9 to 26 hours. This is because the elliptical orbit of the earth and the Moon. Tithis can start and end anytime unlike English date that starts and end at midnight. The start and end times of Tithis are calculated using astronomical formula (for determining longitude positions of the Sun and the Moon from the center of the earth). These times are usually as per UTC (Universal Time Coordinated aka GMT). Time difference to your country is applied to arrive at Tithi start ending times as per your country. When one Tithi ends the next Tithi starts. FESTIVAL DETERMINATION: Each festival has a unique rule. These rules are written in Sanskrit as a part of dharmashastra or agama. For example one of the rule for the Karwa Chauth is: The Karwa Chauth celebrated on the 4 th Tithi of Ashwin Krishna paksha or Purnimant Karthik Krishna Paksha when the Tithi exists during the Moon rise. Another rule for Ganesh Chaturthi says: The Ganesh Chaturthi is observed when the Bhadrapada Shukla Chaturthi Tithi exists during the madhyahana (noon) time. Likewise different rules exist for each festival. The noon, the midnight and other parts of the day cannot be calculated as per fixed clock time. These are based on local sunrise and local sunset. Hence, a festival observance date calculations requires Tithi begin and end times, Daily local Sunrise and sunset timings, Daily Moonrise and Moonset timings These are always dependent on longitude, latitude, and altitude. Tithi begin and end times are calculated using the center of the earth using universal time and then later converted to local timezone. Hence the festival dates you see in Indian calendar prepared in India from your local place is calculated based on your local place s longitude, latitude. Hence it cannot be used outside of India. Panchangkartas (people who make panchangas) interpret these rules on the panchangas they have prepared using the astronomical formulae. Your pundit who performs puja at your home/temple may or may not know these lengthy rules and/or astronomical formulae, or some websites that show day to day panchang. TIMINGS LISTED IN THE CALENDAR: The Tithi & Nakshatra times indicate a time when the Tithi or Nakshatra ends. The Panchanga uses the Vedic definition of a day, i.e., A day starts with Sunrise and ends with the subsequent Sunrise. Thus, a Tithi with a time of 29:00 indicates that the Tithi ends past midnight but before the next Sunrise at 5:00 AM (29:00 24:00) on the next calendar day. Hence 24:00 means 00:00 hours of the next day, 25:00 means :00 AM of the next day, and 29:00 means 5:00 AM of the next day. This is standard time notation for any Panchangam. The time for Sun s Sankramana is when Sun will enter that rasi or sign on that day. eg. Makara 4:36 means Sun is entering Makara rasi at 4 hour 36 minute. All other times are the ending times. Please refer to the following hour guide to determine when Tithi or Nakshatra end times mentioned in the panchanga. The top row is hours and then the bottom row is what time they get translated to with reference to an English date. 23:xx 24:xx 25:xx 26:xx 27:xx 28:xx 29:xx 30:xx 3:xx :xx PM 0:xx AM :xx AM 2:xx AM 3:xx AM 4:xx AM 5:xx AM 6:xx AM 7:xx AM Same date next date next date next date next date next date next date next date next date Here if the hour number is greater than 2 it means PM. When the hour number is greater than 23 then it ends on the next English date before sunrise, that means subtract 24 hours from hour to get exact time and take next English date. For example tithi Amavasya ends at 26:36 on 9 th March 205 it means it really ends past midnight of 9 th March 205 but before next day sunrise of 20 th March. Here it ends at 2:36 AM on 20 th March. I know this is little complex but English Dates don t exactly map to Hindu Day and Date. Hindu day is from one sunrise to another and Hindu Date don t start at midnight. The season occur based on earth s position around the Sun. This is due to Earth s tilt of degrees. The Earth circles around Sun with this tilt. When the tilt is facing the Sun we get summer and when the tilt is away from the Sun we get winter. Because of this tilt it seems like the Sun travels north and south of the equator. The Uttarayana is the Sun appearing to move north. The Dakshinayana is the Sun appearing to move towards South. This causes rise to seasons and dependent on equinoxes and solstices. There is a common misconception that Makara Samkranti is the Uttarayana. This is because at one point in time Sayana and Nirayana Zodiac were same. Every year equinoxes slides by 50 seconds due to precision of equinoxes, giving birth to Ayanamsha and causing Makara Samkranti to slide further. As a result if you think Makara Samkranti is uttarayana then as it is sliding it will come in June after 9000 years. However Makara Samkranti still holds importance in our Rutuals as a Samkranti. All Drika Panchanga makers will use the position of the tropical Sun to determine Uttarayana and Dakshinayana. Hence January 4th isn t Uttarayana. Actual Uttarayana occurs on December 2st/22nd of every year. Some people observe uttarayana and daskshinayana based on Nirayana positions of sun (although it s not as per Drik Siddhanta) and we respect that. The same goes for Rutu. Rutus are always observed based on Tropical position of Sun but some observe based on Lunar month and some on Nirayana Sun. We at mypanchang.com are drika panchanga and Tropical positions for Ayana and Ritu as per Drika Sidddhanta. Note: We have used Dharmasindhu for festival determination and others may use other agamas and hence could be a differences in dates.

Popular in North India. Mainly hindi speaking belt. Also known as Purnimant System. B) Amavasyant: Months end on Amavasya. Months begin from Shukla paksha ends on Amavasya. Popular in Gujarat, Maharastra, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh. Names of Shukla paksha month remains same under both months. As per Purnimant System, a month starts 5 days earlier than its Amavasyant Counter Part. For example. Shravana Masa will begin on Amavasyant Ashadha Krishna Paksha in Purnimant Calendar. This means when Amavasyant Ashadha Krishna Paksha is going on at the same time North India Will celebrate Shravana Krishna Paksha followed by Shravana Shukla Paksha which will be same for both Calendric systems.
