Tithi and nakshatra are those prevailing at sunrise. Observances are marked by simple rules: the tithi at sunrise (or one that begins and ends within the day); Pradosham when Trayodasi prevails at sunset; Masa Shivaratri when Krishna Chaturdasi prevails at midnight; Krithigai by the star at sunrise. Temples and regional almanacs sometimes observe a different day — follow your family tradition.
All times are local time in Samba (IST). Calculated astronomically (Thirukanitha / Drik method, Lahiri ayanamsa) for the exact coordinates of Samba.
