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 Chennai
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 serpents honoured — the tradition's oldest ecological instinct, protecting the creature everyone else kills.
One act for the day
Protect something people find easy to destroy. Feed the animals nobody feeds.
