📜 How this date was determined
Amavasya pervades sunrise kaal on one day only (100% of the window). Suryodaya-vyapini: the tithi prevailing at sunrise governs the day, which is the general rule for vrats where no special kaal applies. Dharma Sindhu confirms it: “पूर्णिमामावास्ये तु सावित्रीव्रतं विना परे ग्राह्ये” — Amavasya is taken on the later day.
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.
