Gita Jayanti 2012
Falls on 23 December 2012 in Hyderabad, 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 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
The day the Gita was spoken — on a battlefield, to a man who could not stand up.
One act for the day
Read chapter two. Then do the one act it asks: something done fully, with the outcome released.
