Masik Shivaratri in Paramaribo: questions
+ How many Masik Shivaratri days are there in 2031 in Paramaribo?
12, computed for Paramaribo's coordinates and the America/Paramaribo time zone. The first falls on Tue, Jan 21 and the last on Fri, Dec 12.
+ Are Paramaribo 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 Paramaribo. In 2031, 9 of 12 dates match the Indian (Ujjain) date, 3 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.
