How the date is determined

The date is Magha 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 Purvahna — the first half of the daytime.
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.

Traditional variation

This is the date given by the rule shown above for the selected place. It is not the only valid date: regional Panchangs, family customs and sampradayas may observe it on a different day.

Rule source: Tithi–kaal rule of the Dharmashastra digests (Nirnaya Sindhu / Dharma Sindhu), as applied by modern drik-ganita (computed) Panchangs
