**The app’s note for the day, in Bengali**

ফাল্গুনী পূর্ণিমায় দোল — আবির আর রঙের উৎসব। দিনটি শ্রীচৈতন্যদেবের জন্মতিথি হিসেবেও পালিত হয়, আর শান্তিনিকেতনের বসন্ত উৎসব বহুদিনের ঐতিহ্য।

*On the day before the festival and on the day itself, the Today screen of the Ritupatra app carries this note.*

## How the day is chosen

The Purnima of Falgun, by the tithi at sunrise: the day whose sunrise falls in the tithi.

Traditional (Surya Siddhanta) panjikas, such as Gupta Press and Beni Madhab Sil, can differ in tithi times by hours, so in some years the day differs too. Their dates will appear here side by side once that school has been checked against a full printed year.

Tithi times are for Kolkata, in Indian Standard Time. Panjikas give Kolkata’s festival days for all of West Bengal. [Why another panjika may differ](https://ritupatra.app/support#en)
