People usually align the Hindu festivals with the English dates based on the Indian calendar. They think that visible in India at 5:00 AM it will happen on the previous day in the USA. For these reasons Indian if an Indian calendar says “Janmasthami” on a certain date, say September 2nd 2010, then it will appear as Panchangam you bring from India cannot be used outside of India.

September 2nd everywhere in the world. The USA is 10:30 to 15:30 hours behind India, so some people will / : The season occur based on earth’s position around the Sun. This is due to think it will also come the next day in the USA, i.e. September 3rd 2010. They also argue that their family Earth’s tilt of 23.45 degrees. The Earth circles around Sun with this tilt. When the tilt is facing the Sun we priest in India has told them to celebrate on this particular date and according to him the Indian calendar get summer and when the tilt is away from the Sun we get winter. Because of this tilt it seems like the Sun will apply to all places in the world. This is a completely wrong assumption. If the Earth was flat then you travels north and south of the equator. The Uttarayana is the Sun appearing to move north. The can use Indian calendar everywhere as sunrise sunset will happen all places equally. We won’t have any Dakshinayana is the Sun appearing to move towards South. This causes rise to seaons and dependent on timezones and the world will have only one timezone. Surya Siddhanta, Maharishi Vashistha, equinoxes and . Bhaskaracharya taught us to prepare the panchangam based on the longitude, latitude of the place you live for these reasons you cannot bring a calendar from India and use abroad. There is a common misconception that Makar Samkranti is the Uttarayana. This is because at one point in time Sayana and Nirayana Zodiac were same. Every year equinoxes slides by 50 seconds due to precision of The English date and changes at midnight; whereas the Hindu date (or Tithi) and day does not change at equinoxes, giving birth to Ayanamsha and causing Makar Samkranti to slide further. As a result if you think midnight. Hindu day changes at Sunrise. All days are from one Sunrise to another Sunrise. Sunday will start Makar Samkranti is uttarayana then as it is sliding it will come in June after 9000 years. However Makar at one Sunrise and end at the next Sunrise.The Hindu date – the Tithi changes depending on the position of Samkranti still holds importance in our rituals as a Samkranti. All Drika Panchanga makers will use the the Sun and Moon. It can change anytime between two Sunrises. That is to say that if Tithi ends th position of the tropical Sun to determine Uttarayana and Dakshinayana. Hence January 14 isn’t today at 23:02 it does not mean that Tithi will end tomorrow at the same time. It can end at 18:00, Uttarayana. Actual Uttarayana occurs on December 21st/22nd of every year.
