Rules, with their texts

Pradosham — the three muhurtas after sunset, and the Dharmasindhu clause that decides which trayodashi takes it.
Ekadashi — why the same ekadashi is printed on two days, and the 96-minute window that causes it.
Sankashti — decided at moonrise, not sunrise.
Masik shivaratri — the nishitha rule and its tie-break.

Dates

Pradosham 2027 · Amavasya 2027 · Pournami 2027 — and for 2026: amavasya, pournami.

Where the books disagree

Yajur Upakarma 2026 — two texts, two days, and which one we follow.
Pongal 2026 — two calendars, two dates, and the arithmetic behind each.
Janmashtami — why states observe it on different days, and why that is not an error.

How it is computed

The method covers the five limbs, the windows, and the two things that move a date more than anything else: the day running sunrise to sunrise and the difference between drik and vakya.

How it is checked

The standard every entry is held to — computed values reproducible from the ephemeris, rules traced to a text and run against published days.
