Each festival has a different rule, for example: Ganesh Chaturthi. Sankathara chaturthi, Biggest misconception is “Indian Hindu festivals observance date in the Indian calendar / panchang is applicable for all location Janmashtami, Mahashivaratri, Karwa Chauth, etc. Ganesha chaturthi has to be oserved when the chaturthi tithi is observed in world”. We use our favorite Panchangam brought from India to find an observance date for an Indian festival. In reality during the 3/5th part of the difference of local sunset and the sunrise. The karwa chauth and the sankathara chaturthi the observance dates from Indian Panchangam is valid only in India and is not transferrable to other locations. If the earth is flat chaturthi tithi must be prevailing during the moonrise time. If one thithi is observed at the moonrise time in India it may or may 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, not be observed during the moonrise time on the same day in the different part of the world. It may be observed on the previous and no need of time zones and hence Indian Panchangam can be used everywhere in the world but the trouble is the earth is day if you are in America or the next day if you are in Japan, Fiji, Australia, or on the same day as India, due to different sunrise round and the Sun does not rise at the same time, or set at the same time all over the world. For example One day International times, different sunset, moonrise timings and tithi timings requires a separate panchangam for different places. Panchang Cricket match at 8 AM in India then will it be the previous day in USA/Canada or the next day? To arrive the time you’ll subtract makers in India cannot prepare printed panchang for each and every place, increasing printing costs etc. Hence, they just make 13 hours 30 minutes from 8 AM. Which gives 6 hours 30 PM the previous day in USA/Canada. Same rule is applied here. panchang for the one of the city in India. For example Moonrise in New Delhi on a given date is at 19:36 and in West Bengal, Tithis, Nakshatras, Yoga and Karana ends at the same instance all over the world (Like any celestial event). After having tithi Kolkatta is at 19:25 PM. Now tritiya ends at 19:32 PM IST. So Kolkatta will celebrate karwa chauth/sankathara chaturthi on the and nakshatra endtimes, the rules used to determine festivals in India are applied for overseas panchangam. Hence, sometimes next day where as people in New Delhi will celebrate on the same day. festivals may appear on the same day as India or a day before in the countries west of India. Where as in the countries east of 23:xx 24:xx 25:xx 26:xx 27:xx 28:xx 29:xx 30:xx 31:xx India the festival may appear on the same date as India or a day later. 11:xx PM 0:xx AM 1:xx AM 2:xx AM 3:xx AM 4:xx AM 5:xx AM 6:xx AM 7:xx AM same date next date next date next date next date next date next date next date next date There is a basic difference between English date and Hindu Date: The English date and the day (Sunday, Monday, etc.) Timings in this calendars are end timings of the Tithi and Nakshatra and for Sun/Moon entering time when it enters a changes at the midnight. Hindu day (Vaar) also doesn't change at the midnight. But changes at the sunrise, a Hindu day is from new rashi. If the hour number is greater than 12 it means PM. When the hour number is greater than 23 then it ends on the one sunrise to another. The Hindu date or tithi (the festival falls in to) doesn't change at the midnight. next English date before sunrise, that means subtract 24 hours from hour to get exact time and take next English date. For The Hindu date (tithi -- depends on the positions of sun and the moon at any given time) changes anytime as celestial bodies example tithi Amavasya ends at 26:36 on 19th March 2015 it means it really ends past midnight of 19th March 2015 but before keep moving. The Tithi duration is the time it takes for the longitudinal angle between the moon and the sun to increase by 12°. next day sunrise of 20th March. Here it ends at 2:36 AM on 20th March. English Dates don’t exactly map to Hindu Day and Date. Hindu day is from one sunrise to another and Hindu Date don’t start at midnight. Hence it varies from approximately 19 to approximately 26 hours. It can change anytime between one Sunrise to another Sunrise. If a tithi ends today at 23:02 it doesn't mean that next tithi will end tomorrow at the same time. It can end at 18:00, Uttarayana/Dakshinayana: The season occur based on earth’s position around the Sun. This is due to Earth’s tilt of 23.45 18:09 or 20:27. degrees. The Earth orbits around Sun with this tilt. When the tilt is facing the Sun we get summer and when the tilt is away from the Sun we get winter. Because of this tilt it seems like the Sun travels north and south of the equator. The Uttarayana is the Panchangam contains two types of calculations: Local coordinates like longitude and latitude. (The earth is kinda round and Sun appearing to move north. The Dakshinayana is the Sun appearing to move towards South. This causes rise to seasons horizon will vary from place to place on earth. Hence these calculations may vary from the place to place.): Sunrise, Sunset, and dependent on equinoxes and solstices. There is a common misconception that Makara Samkranti is the Uttarayana. This Moonrise, Moonset. The Geocentric astronomical phenomenon (The planetary positions will be different for every second) like: is because at one point in time Sayana and Nirayana Zodiac were same. Every year equinoxes slides by 50 seconds due to (The tithi, nakshatra, yoga and karana are based on this set of calculations): Positions of Sun, Moon etc. The astronomical precision of equinoxes, giving birth to Ayanamsha and causing Makara Samkranti to slide further. If you think Makara Samkranti phenomenon happens instantly at the same moment on the earth and hence thithis, nakshatra will end at the same time / is uttarayana then as it is sliding it will come in June after 9000 years. Makara Samkranti still holds importance in our Rutuals instance all over the world and we have to convert them to the local standard time. One has to converts timings into their as a Samkranti. All Drigganitha Panchanga makers like mypanchang, Rastriya Panchang, Janmabhumi Panchang, will use the respective timezone. The planets don't wait for sunrise or sunset at the particular place.
