- Chaturthi at midday

## How the day is chosen

Shukla Chaturthi of Bhadro. The day whose midday (the third fifth of daytime) holds the Chaturthi; if both days do, the one it covers longer.

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)
