Falls on 5 October 2017 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 clearest full moon of the year. The moon is said to pour amrit tonight; rice pudding is left out to take it.
One act for the day
Sit in the moonlight, without a screen, for as long as you can stand. It is the whole practice.
