Dates are for Mumbai. A tithi that changes close to sunrise or sunset can fall a day earlier or later in another city, so for your own town open the festival in the app.
When it falls
13th day of the waxing moon, in Chaitra. Like every lunar festival it lands on a different Gregorian date each year. Muhurtha works the date out from the positions of the Sun and Moon, using the rule for this festival; see how every festival is dated.
The story
Anang means 'bodiless', the name of Kamadeva, the god of love, after Shiva's fire reduced his body to ash when he disturbed Shiva's meditation. His wife Rati prayed, and he lived on without a body. The day honours love and a happy marriage.
How it is kept
Couples worship Kamadeva and Rati with flowers and sugarcane, and pray for a happy marriage.
