What Masik Durgashtami is and how it is kept: the Masik Durgashtami 2030 guide.

Masik Durgashtami in Washington, D.C.: questions

+ How many Masik Durgashtami days are there in 2030 in Washington, D.C.?
13, computed for Washington, D.C.'s coordinates and the America/New York time zone. The first falls on Fri, Jan 11 and the last on Tue, Dec 31.
+ Are Washington, D.C. 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 Washington, D.C.. In 2030, 9 of 13 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. 1 of this year's 13 entries for Washington, D.C. 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.
