Times for Columbus, OH in EST, UTC−5, rounded to the minute, computed by Kalava's engine for this town's own sunrise, sunset and moonrise. How
The one night of the year kept awake for Shiv ji, in four prahars — water poured on the Shivling at each. Nothing is asked for that a house cannot carry; what is asked for is stillness.
The vrat
Fruit and milk through the day; the vigil through the four prahars; the fast broken after sunrise.
Phalguna Krishna Chaturdashi in Purnimanta reckoning; Magha Krishna Chaturdashi in Amanta. The night is the same.
Every town is its own sunrise
