Vinayaka Chaturthi in Memphis: questions

+ How many Vinayaka Chaturthi days are there in 2028 in Memphis?
12, computed for Memphis's coordinates and the America/Chicago time zone. The first falls on Sun, Jan 30 and the last on Tue, Dec 19.
+ Are Memphis Vinayaka 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 Memphis. In 2028, 7 of 12 dates match the Indian (Ujjain) date, 5 fall a day earlier and 0 a day later.
+ How is the date decided?
This calendar uses the local day on which the Shukla Chaturthi tithi is in force at sunrise. Some calendars use the tithi prevailing at midday instead; near a boundary that can move the date by a day. 1 of this year's 12 entries for Memphis 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.
