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
11th day of the waxing moon, in Kartika. 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
After four months of sleep, Vishnu wakes on this day and Chaturmas ends. The wedding season opens, and over the next days Tulsi Vivah, the marriage of the tulsi plant to Vishnu, is performed.
How it is kept
Devotees fast, wake Vishnu with songs and bells, draw his footprints in rangoli and light lamps. Pandharpur and Alandi hold large fairs.
