Timings on Friday, 14 May 2027
- Madhyahna to 2 h 43 min · 14/05/2027 (Fri)
Rule applied: Smarta — The tithi covers the required time on this day only.
How the date is determined
- The date is Vaishakha Shukla Paksha Navami; the month name is the same in the Amanta and Purnimanta systems.
- It falls on the day when this tithi prevails during Madhyahna — the third fifth of the daytime, around midday.
- If the tithi prevails at that time on two consecutive days, the day on which it covers more of that period 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
