Every time is computed for the city's own coordinates and time zone (daylight saving applied); nothing is converted from IST. The last column is the part of the day the rule judges, afternoon (fourth fifth of daylight); the date is the day the tithi covers it. It is the window the tradition names for the observance, not a separately chosen muhurtham; we do not print other muhurthams because we have not verified them.
How the date is decided
Kartika sukla vidiya at aparahna.
When the vidiya covers the afternoon on two days, almanacs differ. This calendar takes the day the vidiya covers the larger part of the afternoon (aparahna), as prokerala.com does; some lists take the first day. In 2026 the vidiya runs from 2:00 PM IST on 10 November to 3:53 PM on 11 November: 11 November here and in prokerala.com (Bhai Dooj), 10 November in samvat.in.
