Questions

From the Dharmasindhu p. 55, with the page for each.

When is Rishi Panchami?

In Delhi: Saturday, 4 September 2027, Thursday, 24 August 2028 and Wednesday, 12 September 2029. Each city keeps its own day by its own sunrise and sunset. Dharmasindhu p. 55

What is the Rishi Panchami puja time?

Midday, the third fifth of the daytime, while the Pañcamī runs. Dharmasindhu p. 55

What is done on Rishi Panchami?

The ṛṣis are worshipped, and the only food is vegetables grown on unploughed land. Dharmasindhu p. 55

Why is the date different in the US or UK?

Rishi Panchami is decided by the Pañcamī at midday at the city. The tithi begins and ends at the same moment everywhere, but sunrise and sunset come at different hours, so a city far to the west or east can keep another day. Dharmasindhu p. 55
