Frequently asked questions
How is Shukla Navami calculated?
A tithi is a 12° step in the Moon's lead over the Sun. Shukla Navami runs from 96° to 108°, so its length varies between roughly 19 and 26 hours with the Moon's speed.
Why can Shukla Navami fall on different dates in different cities?
The civil day takes the tithi current at local sunrise. Sunrise differs by place and time zone, so a tithi that begins before sunrise in one city may begin after sunrise in another.
