Why the date can vary
A festival name can refer to a season, a lunar observance or a local event. Those are different kinds of dates. A Panchang may apply sunrise, Tithi and local observance rules; an organiser may announce a longer programme. Compare the city and convention before comparing the number.
Our annual pages identify their reference location. They do not substitute an approximate sunlight calculation for a ritual Muhurat. Learn about Tithi and the five parts of Panchang.
