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 Chennai
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
Chaturmasya begins: four months in which the tradition asks for restraint rather than expansion. Historically the monsoon retreat, when travel stopped and study deepened.
One act for the day
Choose one thing to give up for four months. Write it down and tell one person.
