How the date is determined

  1. In the Amanta system (months end at the new moon) this is Shravana Krishna Paksha Tritiya; in the Purnimanta system used in most of North India (months end at the full moon) the same day is called Bhadrapada Krishna Paksha Tritiya.
  2. It falls on the day when this tithi prevails at local sunrise (udaya tithi).
  3. If the tithi is present at two sunrises (a vriddhi tithi), the first day is taken.
  4. 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.
  5. In a year with an Adhik month of the same name, it is observed in the regular (Nija) month.

Traditional variation

Kept on the day Tritiya prevails at sunrise (udaya tithi). Some families break the fast only after sighting the Moon, and almanacs that require Tritiya at moonrise can give the previous day. In the Purnimanta months of North India this is Bhadrapada Krishna Tritiya; Amanta calendars call the same day Shravana Krishna Tritiya.

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.

Rule source: North Indian lokachara Gauri vrata (Kajali / Satudi Teej) with no Nirnaya Sindhu or Dharma Sindhu ruling of its own, dated like Hariyali Teej by the almanac udaya convention: the day on which Bhadrapada Krishna Tritiya (Purnimanta) prevails at sunrise; at two sunrises the first; touching no sunrise, the day that contains it
