When is the puja? When do I fast, and when do I break it? When is the right time to begin something new?

Samvatsara answers these for the city you live in, not for India. The two can fall a day apart, so it shows India's date beside yours.

WHEN TO DO YOUR PUJA
• Every festival on the right day for your city, with its puja time
• Navratri day by day, with each goddess and how the day is kept
• Pitru Paksha day by day: every Shraddha day, with its afternoon time

WHEN TO FAST
• Ekadashi, Purnima, Amavasya and festival fasts on your city's date
• The time to break the fast, for example Ekadashi parana and Karva Chauth moonrise

WHEN TO BEGIN SOMETHING NEW
• Abhijit muhurat, the midday window families traditionally pick for new work
• Brahma muhurta before dawn, kept for prayer and study
• Rahu kaal, the part of the day tradition avoids for new starts

AND EVERY DAY
• Today: tithi, nakshatra, yoga and karana, with the sun and moon through the day
• Month: Purnima, Amavasya, Ekadashi and the festivals at a glance
• A short explanation of every panchang word

ONE-TIME UNLOCK
Paid once. No subscription.
• Save festivals with the heart, with a reminder the evening before, and add them to your calendar
• Filter festivals by deity
• A second city, for example parents in India
• A weekly fast day, with a reminder

For North Indian, Gujarati and Marathi families. Smarta or Vaishnava dates, and months ending at full moon or new moon. Settings explains both. In English, with Hindi names alongside.

Everything is worked out on your phone from the sun and the moon. The calendar works without internet. No ads, no account, and we never see your data. If backup is on in your phone's settings, Android keeps a copy of your settings and saved festivals in your own Google account.

Samvatsara means "the year". It follows tradition for your city. It asks for no birth details, gives no personal readings and makes no predictions.
