Falls on 5 August 2028 in Dubai, 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 Dubai
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
A thread tied, and a protection promised. The vow runs in one direction and asks nothing back, which is what separates it from a transaction.
One act for the day
Extend protection to someone outside your own family, where nothing comes back to you for it.
