Kalashtami in São Paulo: questions
+ How many Kalashtami days are there in 2028 in São Paulo?
12, computed for São Paulo's coordinates and the America/Sao Paulo time zone. The first falls on Tue, Jan 18 and the last on Sat, Dec 9.
+ Are São Paulo Kalashtami 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 São Paulo. In 2028, 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 Krishna Ashtami tithi is in force at sunrise. Bhairava worship is often done at night, so some calendars use the night-time tithi instead. 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.
