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

Saraswati's day, and spring's first. Traditionally the day a child is taught their first letter.

One act for the day

Begin learning something you are bad at. Teach a child one letter, one word, one line.
