About these dates
These dates are for Bengaluru. Pournami is observed on the day the full-moon tithi holds the afternoon (aparahna). In another city the date can move by a day when the tithi changes close to that window. Why the day is counted from sunrise.
The day whose afternoon (aparahna) the pournami holds is the day kept for the Pournami vrat. If the tithi holds the window equally on two days, the first is taken. Computed by the Drik method, Lahiri ayanamsha.
