Months are named the purnimanta way used across North India; the dark fortnight belongs to the month that follows the Purnima. A festival is kept on the day its tithi stands at the moment it is observed — sunrise for most, dusk for Diwali and Holika Dahan, midnight for Janmashtami and Shivaratri, moonrise for Karwa Chauth — and local custom sometimes differs by a day. Ask your family priest when in doubt.
