How the date is determined
- In the Amanta system (months end at the new moon) this is Vaishakha Krishna Paksha Amavasya; in the Purnimanta system used in most of North India (months end at the full moon) the same day is called Jyeshtha Krishna Paksha Amavasya.
- 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
