Questions people ask
How are the festival dates found?
From the sky. The moon's phase (tithi), the star and the sun's month are worked out for your city, and each festival follows its traditional rule, such as the tithi at sunrise or in the evening.
Why can a date differ from another calendar by a day?
A tithi can begin in the middle of a day. Calendars follow the tithi at sunrise or at a set hour, and cities far apart see sunrise at different times. Pick your own city for the right date.
What is Karinal?
A few days in each Tamil month that are traditionally kept free of new starts like weddings or a housewarming.
Where do the holidays come from?
They are the gazetted holidays for Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, as per the state government order. Dates not yet announced are marked.
Is anything sent anywhere?
No. Every date is worked out on your phone and nothing leaves it.
