Sankranti in Auckland: questions

+ How many Sankranti days are there in 2029 in Auckland?
12, computed for Auckland's coordinates and the Pacific/Auckland time zone. The first falls on Sun, Jan 14 and the last on Sun, Dec 16.
+ Are Auckland Sankranti dates the same as in India?
The ingress is one instant worldwide, but the local calendar date can differ. Of the 12 sankrantis listed, 9 share the Indian date in Auckland and 3 fall a day later.
+ How is the date decided?
This calendar uses the local date and time of the computed sidereal ingress. 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.
