Sources and methodology
Times are computed for Jaipur (Asia/Kolkata (+05:30)) by HinduTone's panchang engine (astronomy-engine@2.1.19; drik-ganita; Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) mean ayanamsa + IAU2000B nutation; Sun upper limb with standard refraction, sea level; geocentric Sun and Moon). Sunrise is when the upper edge of the Sun appears on a sea-level horizon, with standard refraction. Month names are given in both the Amanta and Purnimanta systems.
Festival dates come from HinduTone's curated calendar, cross-checked against published Drik Panchang calendars, and from the engine's tithi rules at local sunrise.
