The full day →

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.
