All of these holy dates significantly differ from the published BBT calendar and the dates are also wrong i.e. april 4th is TUESDAY not Monday. Appearance of Lord Ramacandra falls on the 6th according to calendar I have and on the 17th according to yours. You are off by one day in the Western Calendar.

Could you please check these dates I would like to follow your calculations but I just want to make sure they are correct. Sorry if I am asking too much but the discrepancy seems too great. Thanks a lot for your time.
