How the days are chosen
Divodāsa’s verse names three women’s Tṛtīyās, each kept joined with the Caturthī: the Madhuśrāvaṇikā on the bright Tṛtīyā of Śrāvaṇa, the Kajjalī on the dark Tṛtīyā of Bhādrapada and the Haritālikā on its bright Tṛtīyā. NS p. 197, quoting Divodāsa
Each is kept on the last day whose sunrise has the Tṛtīyā, joined with the Caturthī, even when a muhūrta or less of the Tṛtīyā remains after that sunrise. When no sunrise has the Tṛtīyā, it is kept on the day it runs, joined with the Dvitīyā. NS p. 197; DS p. 55

Questions
From the Nirṇaya-sindhu, the Dharmasindhu and the Vratarāja, with the page for each.
When is Hartalika Teej 2029?
In Delhi, on Tuesday, 11 September 2029: the bright Tṛtīyā of Bhādrapada, the Haritālikā of the texts. The Tṛtīyā runs from Mon 10 Sep, 09:32 to Tue 11 Sep, 06:09. In Mumbai, Bengaluru, Ahmedabad, Pune, Jaipur, London, New York City, Toronto and Dubai, it is Monday, 10 September. NS p. 197; DS p. 55
When is Hariyali Teej 2029?
In Delhi, on Sunday, 12 August 2029: the bright Tṛtīyā of Śrāvaṇa, the Madhuśrāvaṇikā of the texts. The Tṛtīyā runs from Sun 12 Aug, 02:39 to 23:54. NS p. 197; DS p. 55
What is Kajari Teej?
The Kajjalī of Divodāsa’s verse: the dark Tṛtīyā of Bhādrapada, the second of three women’s Tṛtīyās kept joined with the Caturthī. Reading the Nirṇaya-sindhu’s months pūrṇimānta, it is the dark Tṛtīyā after the Śrāvaṇa Pūrṇimā, where Kajari Teej falls today; that reading of the month is ours. In 2029, in Delhi, it is on Monday, 27 August. NS p. 197, quoting Divodāsa
Why are there three Teejs?
One verse, Divodāsa’s in the Nirṇaya-sindhu, names three women’s Tṛtīyās and gives them one rule: each is kept joined with the Caturthī. The Madhuśrāvaṇikā (Hariyali Teej) falls on the bright Tṛtīyā of Śrāvaṇa, the Kajjalī (Kajari Teej) on the dark Tṛtīyā of Bhādrapada and the Haritālikā (Hartalika Teej) on the bright Tṛtīyā of Bhādrapada. NS p. 197, quoting Divodāsa
Why is the date different in the US or UK?
The Tṛtīyā begins and ends at the same moment everywhere, but sunrise comes at different hours, so the last sunrise that has it can fall on a different day in another city, and a Tṛtīyā that misses every sunrise in one city can hold one in another. DS p. 55
How the days are found
