Masik Shivaratri in Port of Spain: questions
+ How many Masik Shivaratri days are there in 2030 in Port of Spain?
13, computed for Port of Spain's coordinates and the America/Port of_Spain time zone. The first falls on Wed, Jan 2 and the last on Sun, Dec 22.
+ Are Port of Spain Masik Shivaratri dates the same as in India?
Not always. A tithi starts at the same instant everywhere, but the local midnight that decides the day happens at a different moment in Port of Spain. In 2030, 8 of 13 dates match the Indian (Ujjain) date, 5 fall a day earlier and 0 a day later.
+ How is the date decided?
This calendar uses the local day whose following midnight (computed as the midpoint between sunset and the next sunrise) falls inside the Krishna Chaturdashi tithi. 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.
