What Masik Durgashtami is and how it is kept: the Masik Durgashtami 2027 guide.

Masik Durgashtami in Halifax: questions

+ How many Masik Durgashtami days are there in 2027 in Halifax?
12, computed for Halifax's coordinates and the America/Halifax time zone. The first falls on Fri, Jan 15 and the last on Mon, Dec 6.
+ Are Halifax 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 Halifax. In 2027, 8 of 12 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 Shukla Ashtami tithi is in force at sunrise. 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.
