gives Tuesday, 9 November 2021. Why?

Why this date?

Vakya: Wed 10 Nov · Aippasi 24
Thithiதிதி: The lunar day: the time the Moon takes to gain 12° on the Sun. A lunar month has 30.: Sashti (until 2:18 pm)
Star: Uthiradam (until 9:44 pm)

Thirukanitha: Tue 9 Nov · Aippasi 24
Thithi: Panchami (until 10:36 am)

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