Worked out for Chennai, Lahiri ayanamsa. A date is a function of the place: set yours above and the next three come back for where you are.

The second of the two Rajasthani teejes, kept a fortnight and a month after the first, and the big one in Bundi and the rest of Hadoti. Married women keep it for their husbands and unmarried girls for a good marriage, the neem is worshipped, and the sattu that gives the day its third name is ground and offered. Bundi makes a festival of the state’s stature out of it, with the Teej procession from the Nawal Sagar and a fair that runs two days.

Vratam Days kept by a fast or a vow, most of them coming round every lunar month.

Bhadrapada Krishna Tritiya at sunrise in the purnimanta reckoning Rajasthan prints, which is Shravana Krishna Tritiya on an amanta calendar: the third day of the dark fortnight that opens the morning after Raksha Bandhan.

Sunrise 05:57, sunset 18:28, UTC+5.5. These are the instants the rule is read at, not the temple's own puja times, which every temple prints for itself.

A day’s fast is kept by most women who keep it at all, and the sattu of gram and barley is the food of the day where it is not.

Bundi and Hadoti keep it as the big teej against the Hariyali Teej of Shravana, and Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh keep the same tithi as Kajari Teej; Nepal keeps its Teej a fortnight later still, on the Bhadra Shukla Tritiya the north calls Hartalika.

The dates above are the Rajasthan reckoning, because that is the calendar this key belongs to. Switch the tradition on the calendar page to see how another one dates the same day.

  The gazetteer line for this temple names the day. Kajali Tij and Navaratri are its days

A temple is listed here only where the gazetteer's own line names this day, or where this day's own entry names the town, or where the day belongs to the ancestors or the nagas and the temple is recorded for that rite. Where neither table says anything, nothing is listed. Your family's own temple comes first, and its calendar is the one that decides.

Every date here is computed from the Sun and Moon for the place entered, by the rule printed beside it. A printed panchangam can differ by a day where an almanac reads a tithi at a different instant, and a family's own custom always comes first. Where the practice genuinely varies, the text says so rather than choosing for you.
