Understand this occasion
This is the second date in the reported sequence, not an independently verified lunar-calendar designation. We have not attached a tithi label because the published sources are inconsistent and the authoritative programme has not been established in our review.
Our calendar is an aid to discussing your plans. It is not a government programme, a promise of public access or a booking confirmation. Avoid making non-refundable arrangements until the detail you rely on has an authoritative source.
Plan your visit around it
If you are visiting after the mela has begun, reconfirm everything rather than relying on the arrangements used at the opening. Accommodation access, public transport stops and movement rules can change across the festival period.
Keep written confirmations for your accommodation and transfer. Tell providers what your group needs, and ask how temporary restrictions would affect your arrival and departure. You can use our first-time guide to turn those answers into a practical plan.
What still needs checking
Check for a revised programme as well as the original notice. Confirm that the restrictions and entry routes you saved apply to this particular date, and keep a clear plan for the return journey.
- Final date and the original notification that establishes it.
- Reporting times, designated locations and public access rules.
- Transport, parking and any route restrictions on the day.
- What your group will do if a planned activity is no longer manageable.
Leave room for a different pace
Leave the following part of your day unscheduled. If the permitted route or queue is no longer manageable, give your group room to rest and change the plan.
A place in the calendar does not tell you how a day will feel on the ground. Take account of the needs of children, older relatives and anyone who needs a shorter outing.
