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
3rd day of the waxing moon, in Shravana. 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
Parvati prayed for many years to marry Shiva, and in the rainy season he accepted her. The festival celebrates their reunion and the greenery that follows the first rains.
How it is kept
Women dress in green, apply mehndi, sing monsoon songs and swing on decorated swings hung from trees. Many keep a fast for a happy marriage.
