On the third Shravan Monday of 2025, for example, private vehicles were kept out of Trimbakeshwar and parked at Talegaon Phata (from Nashik) and Amboli Phata (from Jawhar). The notice for 31 August 2027 had not been published when we checked.
- The tithi: Shravana Amavasya (amanta) prevails at sunrise and lasts until 11:10 pm, by the Tirth panchang for Nashik.

The 2027 order and timings have not been announced.
