Amavasya in Philadelphia: questions

+ How many Amavasya days are there in 2027 in Philadelphia?
13, computed for Philadelphia's coordinates and the America/New York time zone. The first falls on Thu, Jan 7 and the last on Mon, Dec 27.
+ Are Philadelphia Amavasya 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 Philadelphia. In 2027, 9 of 13 dates match the Indian (Ujjain) date, 4 fall a day earlier and 0 a day later.
+ How is the date decided?
This calendar uses the local day on which the Amavasya tithi is in force at sunrise. The exact new-moon instant is shown alongside. No entry this year needed a flag. 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.
