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 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.
