📜 How this date was determined
Dwitiya 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: “द्वितीया शुक्लपक्षे परविद्धा ग्राह्या” — Dwitiya in the bright fortnight is taken para-viddha.
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.
