Questions people ask

How are the dates worked out?

Everything is worked out on your device from the positions of the Sun and Moon for your city. Nothing is sent anywhere, and it works for any year.

What is the difference between Drik and Vakya?

Drik uses the real sky, like most printed calendars today. Vakya is the old table method still used by some Tamil almanacs. Tithi and star times can differ by a few minutes to a few hours, and once in a while a Tamil month starts a day apart.

Why does a festival show on a different day in another city?

Festivals follow the tithi or star at sunrise, noon or evening. Sunrise is earlier in Chennai than in Mumbai or London, so a tithi that ends near sunrise can fall on a different date.

Can I add the festivals to my phone calendar?

Yes. Download the phone calendar file for the year and open it. Your phone adds each festival and holiday as an all-day event.

How are muhurtham days chosen?

By traditional rules: a good star and tithi, a good weekday, and no chandrashtamam or karinal. Please confirm the exact time with your family priest.
