Timings on Saturday, 4 September 2027
- Madhyahna to 1 h 10 min · 04/09/2027 (Sat)
Rule applied: Smarta — The tithi covers the required time on two days; the day with the greater coverage is taken.
Why this date?
- The tithi covers the required time (Madhyahna) on two consecutive days; the day with the greater coverage is taken.
How the date is determined
- The date is Bhadrapada Shukla Paksha Panchami; the month name is the same in the Amanta and Purnimanta systems.
- It falls on the day when this tithi prevails during Madhyahna — the third fifth of the daytime, around midday.
- If the tithi prevails at that time on two consecutive days, the day on which it covers more of that period is taken.
- If the tithi does not touch that period on any day (a kshaya tithi), the Hindu day on which the tithi prevails longest is used.
- In a year with an Adhik month of the same name, it is observed in the regular (Nija) month.
