Find moonrise-based Sankashti date candidates
Select a month and city to compare Chaturthi with the local moonrise observations returned by MahaGuru. The supported convention selects the first qualifying local moonrise date. Read the convention declared in the report together with each date and moonrise timing; another observance tradition may select a different day.
Keep unresolved observations visible
A missing moonrise or unresolved date decision remains explicitly unresolved. The page does not invent a moonrise, fasting-break time or final observance ruling when the calculation cannot supply one. Its results are limited to the stated convention.
Save the month, city and declared method
Signed-in users can automatically retain a successfully calculated and confirmed cloud-saved calendar snapshot. Reopen that record to review its original city, month and method before comparing it with another observance calendar.
How to use this calculator
- Select the calculation date and city, or choose the month or date range shown in the form.
- Complete the visible activity settings. If this tool requires a birth profile, select the correct person; calculation city and birthplace are separate.
- Generate the report. Signed-in reports save with their settings; unavailable or excluded windows remain clearly labelled.
Frequently asked questions
Why can Sankashti differ from a generic Chaturthi date?
This calendar evaluates the supported Chaturthi condition with local moonrise using the convention declared in the result. A generic civil-date or sunrise-Tithi list may use a different observation anchor.
What happens if the moonrise or date decision is unresolved?
The report retains the unavailable or unresolved status. It does not manufacture an observation time or claim a final observance decision.
Does the calendar decide every Sankashti observance tradition?
No. It reports the declared first-qualifying-moonrise convention and returned observations for the selected location. Other traditions may select another day. Compare that method with your own observance tradition before making a final vrata decision.
