Why a date can differ: a tithi (lunar day) begins at the same instant everywhere on earth, but a festival is kept on the local day when its tithi holds at the right moment, such as sunrise or moonrise. Cities east or west of Delhi reach that moment at different minutes, so now and then they keep a festival a day apart from these dates. For festivals not listed, see the festival calendar.
