Excerpt from Census of India, 1901, Vol. 22: Hyderabad; Part I, Report The last decennial Census was taken on the night of Thursday, the '76th February 1891, and it is desirable to adopt for the coming Census a date corresponding, as near as possible, to that date. 'lhers will be a full moon on the 5th March 1901. The Census should be taken a few days before the full moon, because the light will then be available in the early part of the night and people will not ordinarily have left their homes to attend the lunar bathing festivals.
