For example if a total lunar eclipse is the world. All time presented here is adjusted for Daylight Saving Time. visible in India at 5:00 AM it will happen on the previous day in the USA. For these reasons Indian People usually align the Hindu festivals with the English dates based on the Indian calendar. They think Panchangam you bring from India cannot be used outside of India. that if an Indian calendar says “Janmasthami” on a certain date, say September 2nd 2010, then it will appear as September 2nd everywhere in the world. The USA is 10:30 to 15:30 hours behind India, so some Uttarayana / Dakshinayana: The season occur based on earth’s position around the Sun. This is due people will think it will also come the next day in the USA, i.e. September 3rd 2010. They also argue that to Earth’s tilt of 23.45 degrees. The Earth circles around Sun with this tilt. When the tilt is facing the Sun their family priest in India has told them to celebrate on this particular date and according to him the we get summer and when the tilt is away from the Sun we get winter. Because of this tilt it seems like the Indian calendar will apply to all places in the world. This is a completely wrong assumption. If the Earth Sun travels north and south of the equator. The Uttarayana is the Sun appearing to move north. The was flat then you can use Indian calendar everywhere as sunrise sunset will happen all places equally. We Dakshinayana is the Sun appearing to move towards South. This causes rise to seaons and dependent on won’t have any timezones and the world will have only one timezone.

Every year equinoxes slides by 50 seconds due to precision

The English date and changes at midnight; whereas the Hindu date (or Tithi) and day does not change at of equinoxes, giving birth to Ayanamsha and causing Makar Samkranti to slide further. As a result if you midnight. Hindu day changes at Sunrise. All days are from one Sunrise to another Sunrise. Sunday will think Makar Samkranti is uttarayana then as it is sliding it will come in June after 9000 years. However Makar Samkranti still holds importance in our rituals as a Samkranti. All Drika Panchanga makers will start at one Sunrise and end at the next Sunrise.The Hindu date – the Tithi changes depending on the th position of the Sun and Moon. It can change anytime between two Sunrises. That is to say that if use the position of the tropical Sun to determine Uttarayana and Dakshinayana. Hence January 14 isn’t st nd Prathama Tithi ends today at 23:02 it does not mean that Dwitiya Tithi will end tomorrow at the same Uttarayana.
