Calculated astronomically for Varanasi (IST) using the Drik method — Lahiri ayanamsa, true tithi/nakshatra/yoga end times, sunrise-to-sunrise day. Festival dates follow the udaya-tithi / kala rules; some festivals fall a day apart between Smarta and Vaishnava traditions, so please confirm with your Panditji.
What is Panchang?
