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, sunrise; 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 chavithi at sunrise (four days after Deepavali) - the main Telugu naga puja.

Almanacs differ when the chavithi begins in the evening: this calendar, like telugucalendar.org, keeps the day the chavithi is current at sunrise (the udaya rule); prokerala.com lists the evening the chavithi begins. In 2026 the chavithi runs from 6:09 PM IST on 12 November to 8:43 PM on 13 November: 13 November here and in telugucalendar.org, 12 November in prokerala.com.

Date by city

Different date in 47 of 215 cities: Los Angeles, San Francisco Bay Area, Dallas, Irving, Plano, Frisco, McKinney, Coppell, Fort Worth, Houston, Sugar Land, Austin and 35 more — the tithi is judged against each city's own sunrise and local time (daylight saving included), so the day can shift for cities far from India.
