Masik Durgashtami in Helsinki: questions

+ How many Masik Durgashtami days are there in 2029 in Helsinki?
12, computed for Helsinki's coordinates and the Europe/Helsinki time zone. The first falls on Mon, Jan 22 and the last on Wed, Dec 12.
+ Are Helsinki 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 Helsinki. In 2029, 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. 2 of this year's 12 entries for Helsinki 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.
