Notes: Date and timings shown are computed for New Delhi, India using Swiss Ephemeris. Computed via the Udaya Tithi (tithi prevailing at sunrise) convention and the purnimanta month naming both already used by /api/panchang and vrat_engine.py's Janmashtami/Shraddha types. A tithi that never touches a sunrise (Kshaya) falls back to a midday-anchor scan instead of returning no date — see module docstring's Kshaya Tithi finding; one spanning two sunrises (Vriddhi) can still produce two consecutive dates, unresolved beyond the plain rule.

Why does this festival's date change every year on the Gregorian calendar?

Most Hindu festivals are set by the lunar Hindu calendar (a specific Tithi within a specific lunar month), not the solar Gregorian calendar used internationally. Since a lunar year runs roughly 11 days shorter than a solar year, the same Tithi lands on a different Gregorian date each year — this is normal and expected, not an error.
