AI explanation of calculated facts — traditional guidance, not a prediction
How the date is determined
- It is the moment the Sun enters sidereal Kanya (Virgo).
- The day and Punya Kaal follow the classical ghati spans for each kind of Sankranti (ghati = 1/30 of the daytime): Makara 40 after, Karka 30 before, Mesha and Tula 10 before and after, Vrishabha, Simha, Vrishchika and Kumbha 16 before, Mithuna, Kanya, Dhanu and Meena 16 after, kept within sunrise–sunset; Maha Punya Kaal is 5 ghatis. A Sankranti at night before midnight counts in the same day's afternoon, after midnight in the next morning (Makara always the next day).
- Sidereal positions use the ayanamsa of your calculation profile; a different ayanamsa can shift the moment by several minutes.
Traditional variation
Kept on the day of the Kanya Sankranti. When the Sun enters Kanya in the evening (16 September 2024, 19:42 IST), this rule and the Rashtriya Panchang give that day, while the Government of Bihar list and many Bengali almanacs (which reckon the Sankranti by the Surya Siddhanta) give 17 September. In Punjab and Haryana, Vishwakarma Day is a different observance, kept the day after Diwali.
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: Eastern Indian solar-calendar festival on the sidereal Kanya Sankranti (Bhadra Sankranti), dated by the platform’s Sankranti day rule (the Punya Kaal day: an ingress at night before the Hindu midnight counts on the same day, after it on the next). Rashtriya Panchang (IMD), "Vishwakarma Puja": 16 Sep 2024, 17 Sep 2025, 17 Sep 2026 (Saka 1946-1948); Government of West Bengal 2026 and Government of Bihar 2025-2026 holiday lists: 17 September
