How the date and muhurat are worked out

The day is found from the tithi alone: it is the day on which Shukla Pratipada prevails at sunrise, not simply the day after Diwali, which in some years it is not. We give the pratahkal muhurat, the first three of the day’s fifteen muhurtas, and the sayankal muhurat, the last three, wherever Pratipada still runs in them, for each city.

When Pratipada begins after sunrise, some observe on that day and some on the next; we follow the sunrise rule. Where Pratipada ends before evening there is no sayankal muhurat in our table, though some panchangs list the evening window regardless.

Questions

When is the Govardhan Puja 2026 muhurat in Melbourne?

In Melbourne, Govardhan Puja 2026 falls on Tuesday, 10 November 2026, and the muhurat runs from 6:04 AM to 8:52 AM.

What is Annakut?

The “mountain of food”: a large offering of cooked dishes made to Krishna as Govardhan, remembering the hill he lifted to shelter the people of Braj.

Why is there sometimes no evening muhurat?

The sayankal muhurat is given only while Pratipada still runs. When Pratipada ends in the afternoon, the evening belongs to Dwitiya, and our table leaves it out.
