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 Hyderabad
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
Dhanvantari, who rose from the churning of the ocean carrying medicine — the day is about **health** as the first wealth. The metal-buying is a much later graft.
One act for the day
Look after the body you have been ignoring. Then give medicine, or its cost, to someone who cannot afford it.
