What Pradosh is and how it is kept: the Pradosh 2031 guide.

Pradosh in Washington, D.C.: questions

+ How many Pradosh days are there in 2031 in Washington, D.C.?
25, computed for Washington, D.C.'s coordinates and the America/New York time zone. The first falls on Sun, Jan 5 and the last on Thu, Dec 25.
+ Are Washington, D.C. Pradosh dates the same as in India?
Not always. A tithi starts at the same instant everywhere, but the sunset that decides the day happens at a different moment in Washington, D.C.. In 2031, 15 of 25 dates match the Indian (Ujjain) date, 10 fall a day earlier and 0 a day later.
+ How is the date decided?
This calendar uses the local day on which the Trayodashi tithi is in force at sunset. 2 of this year's 25 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.
