Falls on 8 July 2005 in San Francisco, 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 San Francisco
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 deity leaves the temple and comes into the street — the one festival built entirely on the idea that the divine does not stay where it is kept.
One act for the day
Take something you keep private — a skill, a kindness — out into public use today.
