नियम-दर्शनम् · What determines each date

rules, not registries
  • संक्रान्ति — Sun crosses a sidereal rāśi boundary (15° × N within 360°), refined to ≤ 30 s by bisection.
  • तिथि — floor of (λ_M − λ_S)/12°. Each utsava is keyed to a specific tithi-within-pakṣa within a specific lunar month.
  • पूर्णिमा — tithi index 14 within Śukla-pakṣa (elongation 168°–180°).
  • अमावस्या — tithi index 14 within Kṛṣṇa-pakṣa (elongation 348°–360° → conjunction).
  • एकादशी — tithi 11 in either pakṣa; 24 per year (one per pakṣa × 12 months).
  • ग्रहण — sūrya/candra eclipse via astronomy-engine global event search; kind + obscuration reported.

Dates are time-structure, not advice — no festival here carries a fear-claim or a remedy. Observances vary by region and sampradāya.
