- Shukla Navami: 26 Mar 11:49 am to 27 Mar 10:07 am
- Navami at midday on both days, 26 Mar and 27 Mar; by the rule, 27 Mar

## How the day is chosen

Shukla Navami of Chaitra. The day whose midday (the middle third of daytime) holds the Navami; if both or neither do, the later day.

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)
