How the date is determined
- The date is Kartika Shukla Paksha Dwadashi; 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
Many families perform Tulsi Vivah on Prabodhini (Dev Uthani) Ekadashi itself, and some on any day up to Kartika Purnima; the Dwadashi day is shown here. In Maharashtra the season of Tulsi weddings runs until Purnima.
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: Tulasi-vivaha (Dharma Sindhu, Pariccheda 2, Kartika-masa: from Prabodhini Ekadashi to Kartika Purnima, chiefly on the Dwadashi, in the evening), dated by the almanac udaya convention: the day on which Kartika Shukla Dwadashi prevails at sunrise; at two sunrises the first; touching no sunrise, the day that contains it. The evening window shown is that day’s Pradosh (festival windows, panchang/festivalWindows.ts)
