గోవత్స ద్వాదశి
Govatsa Dwadashi (Vasu Baras)
Thursday, 12 November 2020 in Hyderabad · in 316 days
The observance day is decided by which tithi prevails at sunrise. Where a tithi straddles two civil days, the rule — not the calendar — picks the day, and that rule is exactly what differs between traditions.
First day of the Diwali sequence — cow and calf worship; Vasu Baras (mr), Vagh Baras (gu)
- Cow and calf puja
- Wheat and milk products avoided
ⓘ The same day, named differently
- Amanta — your region
- ఆశ్వయుజం · కృష్ణ ద్వాదశి
- Purnimanta regions
- కార్తీకం · కృష్ణ ద్వాదశి
Same day, same tithi, same timings — only the month name differs, because the two conventions cut the month at opposite ends. Why →
