The tithi covers that moment on both days, and almanacs choose between them by their own tradition. Both are shown.

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

One act for the day
