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

The fire the night before the colour. Holika burns and the child does not — the tradition puts the destruction of malice before the celebration, in that order, on purpose.

One act for the day

Write down one resentment you have been feeding and burn it in the fire. Then play, and let yourself be unrecognisable for a day.
