Pradosh in Johannesburg: questions

+ How many Pradosh days are there in 2029 in Johannesburg?
24, computed for Johannesburg's coordinates and the Africa/Johannesburg time zone. The first falls on Fri, Jan 12 and the last on Mon, Dec 17.
+ Are Johannesburg Pradosh dates the same as in India?
Not always. A tithi starts at the same instant everywhere, but the sunset that decides the day happens at a different moment in Johannesburg. In 2029, 20 of 24 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 Trayodashi tithi is in force at sunset. 4 of this year's 24 entries for Johannesburg 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.
