📜 How this date was determined
Purnima pervades sayahna kaal on one day only (100% of the window). The pyre is lit in the second half of Purnima at night, and Bhadra must be avoided — Purnima pervading sayahna decides the 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.
