Pournami (purnima, the full moon) is the day for Satyanarayana vratam; the pournamis of Shravana (Rakhi), Ashwayuja (Sharad), Kartika (Deepotsavam), Magha and Phalguna (Holi) are festivals. The times are computed with the NASA/JPL DE440s ephemeris and the Lahiri ayanamsa; the day is fixed by the tithi at local sunrise (the second day when the tithi covers two sunrises), so cities west of India can keep it a day earlier. The table gives the tithi in IST and in the four US time zones, with the day each city keeps.
