  • Indian Hindu Festivals Observance Date in the Indian Calendar / Panchang Is Applicable for All Location in World”
    Biggest misconception is “Indian Hindu festivals observance date in the Indian calendar / panchang is applicable for all location in world”. We contact our parents in India to find the festival observance dates. Some use their favorite Panchangam brought from India to find an observance date for an Indian festival. In reality observance dates from Indian Panchangam is valid only in India and is not transferrable to other locations. If the earth is flat we can use Indian calendar everywhere in the world. If the earth is flat then Sun & Moon will rise all places at the same time, and no need of time zones and hence Indian Panchangam can be used everywhere in the world but the trouble is the earth is round and the Sun does not rise at the same time, or set at the same time all over the world. Additionally, we have time zones and time differenes. Due to the time zones/differences there is another misconception that as USA/Canada and Europe is behind in time then Festival will come a day later in USA/Canada and Europe. This is absurd. One needs to learn mathematics to remove the confusion. If Seattle/Vancouver/California is 13 hours 30 minutes behind Indian Standard Time and say an event is occurring in India (For example One day International Cricket match at 8 AM in India then will it be the previous day in USA/Canada or the next day? If you think next day then it is not a live telecast. It is just a relay. To arrive the time you’ll subtract 13 hours 30 minutes from 8 AM.
