Vinayaka Chaturthi in Suva: questions

+ How many Vinayaka Chaturthi days are there in 2031 in Suva?
12, computed for Suva's coordinates and the Pacific/Fiji time zone. The first falls on Mon, Jan 27 and the last on Thu, Dec 18.
+ Are Suva 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 Suva. In 2031, 7 of 12 dates match the Indian (Ujjain) date, 0 fall a day earlier and 5 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.
