Victory on the tenth. Ravana was learned, powerful and devout — the tradition burns him anyway, because none of that survives what he did.

One act for the day
Name the thing in you that is intelligent and still wrong. Burn something written, and begin a new learning today — the day is classically for starting study.
The day, for Kanpur
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.
