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

ষষ্ঠীতে বোধন, তারপর সপ্তমী, অষ্টমী, নবমী পেরিয়ে দশমীতে বিসর্জন। পাড়ায় পাড়ায় প্যান্ডেল, ঢাকের বাদ্যি আর অষ্টমীর অঞ্জলি। ২০২১ সালে ইউনেস্কো কলকাতার দুর্গাপূজাকে মানবজাতির অধরা সাংস্কৃতিক ঐতিহ্যের তালিকায় স্থান দিয়েছে।

*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

In the bright fortnight of Ashwin, Shashthi to Dashami. Each puja day goes by the tithi at sunrise. A tithi at two sunrises is listed on both days, with the puja on the first. If the tithi lasts less than a muhurta after sunrise, the puja is the day before. A tithi that touches no sunrise (kshaya) is kept on the day it falls in. Sandhi Puja spans the last 24 minutes of Ashtami and the first 24 of Navami (Raghunandana’s Tithitattva).

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)
