Why this date?

Vakya: Mon 11 Sep · Aavani 26
Thithiதிதி: The lunar day: the time the Moon takes to gain 12° on the Sun. A lunar month has 30.: Panchami (until 6:43 am)
Star: Bharani (until 11:16 am)

Thirukanitha: Sun 10 Sep · Aavani 25
Thithi: Chathurthi (until 7:24 am)

The two methods place the thithi or star boundary differently, so the day moves. Follow your temple or family.
