Today's three riddles
Turn a card. Answer all three rightly and this portal is sealed in your sky. New riddles every morning.
The day, for Bhopal
The day is chosen by the moment the tradition reads its tithi at, and the times are that day's own, computed for this city. A festival-specific puja window is not printed: those rules differ by tradition and await a scholar's review.
What the day is
'That which does not diminish.' The day is heavily sold as an auspicious time to buy gold. The tradition's actual claim is that what is **given** on this day does not diminish — the merchants inverted it.
One act for the day
Give something today. The tradition says it will not run out; the merchants say to buy. Believe the older one.
