Falls on 1 November 2016 in San Francisco, as computed from the real sky for that city.

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 San Francisco
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
Yama visits his sister Yamuna and is fed — the god of death, at a family table.
One act for the day
Go to a sibling, or someone who has been one to you. Eat together. Do not discuss anything difficult.
