AI explanation of calculated facts — traditional guidance, not a prediction
How the date is determined
- The date is Chaitra Shukla Paksha Tritiya; the month name is the same in the Amanta and Purnimanta systems.
- It falls on the day when this tithi prevails at local sunrise (udaya tithi).
- If the tithi is present at two sunrises (a vriddhi tithi), the first day is taken.
- If the tithi does not touch that period on any day (a kshaya tithi), the Hindu day on which the tithi prevails longest is used.
- In a year with an Adhik month of the same name, it is observed in the regular (Nija) month.
Traditional variation
Gangaur is kept on the day Tritiya prevails at sunrise (udaya tithi). The festival itself runs for sixteen or eighteen days from the day after Holi; the date shown is its main day, the Gauri Tritiya. Local processions (Udaipur, Jaipur) can continue on the next day.
This is the date given by the rule shown above for the selected place. It is not the only valid date: regional Panchangs, family customs and sampradayas may observe it on a different day.
