The Tamil sunset rule comes from Sewell & Dikshit, The Indian Calendar, printed page 12, section 28. The astronomical positions use our approximate Lahiri model. Dates near a rule cutoff are withheld for review; the ten-minute review margin is not a certified error bound. Calendar-specific annual festival rules remain separate.

Questions about this Panchang

Why do Hindi and Marathi month names differ?

The Purnimanta month ends at the full moon, while the Amanta month ends at the new moon. During the dark fortnight the month names can differ. The tithi interval itself remains the same.

Does choosing a calendar confirm every festival and fasting date?

Calculated solar month and day using the sunset rule. Vakyam and the complete Tamil festival calendar are not included.

Why can the time change when I choose another place?

Local coordinates determine sunrise, sunset and daily divisions. Tithi transitions are astronomical instants; their clock display follows the selected timezone.
