☕ How this is worked out
Each date is the day the app's own rule for that festival fires at this city — the rule its calendar, its festival feeds and its reminders all use. A rule decides by the tithi, nakshatra or solar month at a stated time of day (sunrise, the afternoon, or the evening), which is why a festival can fall on a different day in a different city.
The festivals computed today are the ones on the South Indian solar calendar and its shared observances. Festivals reckoned only by the northern purnimanta month are not listed until the app computes that calendar.
Tithi and nakshatra days on this page come from the Vaakya (Traditional) engine, as on the city pages.
Computed by the Vaakya (Traditional) engine for tithi-based days; Saturn and Jupiter from drik (Lahiri) positions.
Questions people ask
Why is a festival on a different day in my city?▾
Festivals are decided by the tithi or star at a local time of day, and that time is different in every city. Open your city's page in the app, or the festival guide, for your own date.
Can I get these festivals in my phone calendar?▾
Subscribe to a festival feed in the Nava app and you get a reminder before each one, dated for your city.
