Festival days are worked out from the tithi for each place. They can fall a day apart between regions, traditions and countries, and public holidays are set by each country’s own authority, so please confirm with your local calendar. In Nepal, festival days and public holidays are fixed each year by the Nepal Panchanga Nirnayak Samiti and the government.
What does this time of year hold for your own chart?
A festival falls on the same day for everyone, but the period you are running is yours alone. Your personal astrologer reads your birth chart, your dashas and the transits of these weeks.
