Masik Durgashtami in Port of Spain: questions
+ How many Masik Durgashtami days are there in 2026 in Port of Spain?
12, computed for Port of Spain's coordinates and the America/Port of_Spain time zone. The first falls on Mon, Jan 26 and the last on Thu, Dec 17.
+ Are Port of Spain Masik Durgashtami dates the same as in India?
Not always. A tithi starts at the same instant everywhere, but the sunrise that decides the day happens at a different moment in Port of Spain. In 2026, 9 of 12 dates match the Indian (Ujjain) date, 3 fall a day earlier and 0 a day later.
+ How is the date decided?
This calendar uses the local day on which the Shukla Ashtami tithi is in force at sunrise. 1 of this year's 12 entries for Port of Spain are flagged because of that. Local temples may follow a particular sampradaya's rule, so check with them for ritual purposes.
+ How accurate are these times?
Times come from truncated astronomical series and should fall within a few minutes of a full ephemeris. Near a boundary a published panchanga may assign a different day. They are for planning practice, not for precise ritual muhurta.
