Masik Durgashtami in Dubai: questions
+ How many Masik Durgashtami days are there in 2029 in Dubai?
12, computed for Dubai's coordinates and the Asia/Dubai time zone. The first falls on Tue, Jan 23 and the last on Thu, Dec 13.
+ Are Dubai 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 Dubai. In 2029, 10 of 12 dates match the Indian (Ujjain) date, 2 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. 2 of this year's 12 entries for Dubai 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.
