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

Masik Shivaratri in Wellington: questions

+ How many Masik Shivaratri days are there in 2030 in Wellington?
13, computed for Wellington's coordinates and the Pacific/Auckland time zone. The first falls on Wed, Jan 2 and the last on Mon, Dec 23.
+ Are Wellington 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 Wellington. In 2030, 9 of 13 dates match the Indian (Ujjain) date, 0 fall a day earlier and 4 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. 2 of this year's 13 entries for Wellington 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.
