What Sankashti Chaturthi is and how it is kept: the Sankashti Chaturthi 2032 guide.

Sankashti Chaturthi in Johannesburg: questions

+ How many Sankashti Chaturthi days are there in 2032 in Johannesburg?
13, computed for Johannesburg's coordinates and the Africa/Johannesburg time zone. The first falls on Thu, Jan 1 and the last on Mon, Dec 20.
+ Are Johannesburg Sankashti 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 Johannesburg. In 2032, 11 of 13 dates match the Indian (Ujjain) date, 2 fall a day earlier and 0 a day later.
+ How is the date decided?
This calendar uses the local day on which the Krishna Chaturthi tithi is in force at sunrise. Many households instead follow the day on which Chaturthi holds at moonrise, so a local temple may differ by a day. 2 of this year's 13 entries for Johannesburg 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.
