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 Guwahati
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 great night. Not a celebration — a vigil. The one festival whose entire practice is to stay awake, which is also its whole meaning.
One act for the day
Stay awake. Four watches, four offerings if you keep the full form; if not, then simply do not sleep, and use the hours. This is the year's deepest night of practice and it costs nothing.
