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

Nine nights of Devi at the year's opening — the spring counterpart to Sharada Navaratri, quieter and more interior. Rebuilding the personality before the year loads it.

One act for the day

One discipline, kept all nine days. Choose something small enough that you will not fail it.
