Sankashti Chaturthi in Mexico City: questions
+ How many Sankashti Chaturthi days are there in 2026 in Mexico City?
13, computed for Mexico City's coordinates and the America/Mexico City time zone. The first falls on Tue, Jan 6 and the last on Sat, Dec 26.
+ Are Mexico City Sankashti Chaturthi 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 Mexico City. In 2026, 7 of 13 dates match the Indian (Ujjain) date, 6 fall a day earlier and 0 a day later.
+ How is the date decided?
This calendar uses the local day on which the Krishna Chaturthi tithi is in force at sunrise. Many households instead follow the day on which Chaturthi holds at moonrise, so a local temple may differ by a day. 2 of this year's 13 entries for Mexico City 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.
