The full day →

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 birth of Rama — the tradition's model not of power but of conduct under impossible constraint. The point of Rama is never what he could do; it is what he would not do.

One act for the day

Keep a promise today that is costing you something. That is the entire teaching.
