📜 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.
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.
