The day, for Varanasi

Kept on the day its tithi runs at dusk (pradosh).
- Tithi
- Krishna Trayodashi · until 20:50

- Hasta
- Sunrise – Sunset

The tithi covers that moment on both days, and almanacs choose between them by their own tradition. Both are shown.
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

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.
