📜 How this date was determined
Dwitiya pervades madhyahna kaal on one day only (100% of the window). The Committee prescribes Yamadvitiya as madhyahna-vyapini and purvaviddha: the tilak day is fixed by Dwitiya pervading midday, and when two days qualify the earlier is taken.
Computed by Trikaal Vaani from Swiss Ephemeris and the classical nirnaya rules — Nirnaya Sindhu, Dharma Sindhu, and the Report of the Calendar Reform Committee. Not copied from another calendar.
