Vinayaka Chaturthi in Nairobi: questions
+ How many Vinayaka Chaturthi days are there in 2030 in Nairobi?
13, computed for Nairobi's coordinates and the Africa/Nairobi time zone. The first falls on Mon, Jan 7 and the last on Sat, Dec 28.
+ Are Nairobi Vinayaka Chaturthi 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 Nairobi. In 2030, 12 of 13 dates match the Indian (Ujjain) date, 1 fall a day earlier and 0 a day later.
+ How is the date decided?
This calendar uses the local day on which the Shukla Chaturthi tithi is in force at sunrise. Some calendars use the tithi prevailing at midday instead; near a boundary that can move the date by a day. 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.
