Important source guidance
Ritual practice can vary by family, region, sampradaya and priestly tradition.
Year-specific tithis and local timings should be verified against a reliable Panchang for the reader鈥檚 city.
Scriptural stories should distinguish primary sources, later retellings, regional traditions and popular interpretations.
