Dooj

Dooj on OccultGuide: what the glossary says, related topics, and the dates when it is observed.

27 Oct: The tithi began and ended without ever falling at sunrise (kshaya); the day it runs through is kept.

Computed for New Delhi. Sunrise decides which tithi a day belongs to, so these can differ elsewhere.
