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 waning 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
Kajari are folk songs of the monsoon, sung by women missing husbands who are away. The festival is also linked with Parvati's penance to win Shiva.
How it is kept
Women fast, apply mehndi, swing, sing Kajari songs, worship the neem tree and break the fast when the Moon rises.
