Skanda Shashthi in Dubai: questions
+ How many Skanda Shashthi days are there in 2032 in Dubai?
12, computed for Dubai's coordinates and the Asia/Dubai time zone. The first falls on Sat, Jan 17 and the last on Wed, Dec 8.
+ Are Dubai Skanda Shashthi 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 Dubai. In 2032, 11 of 12 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 Shashthi tithi is in force at sunrise. Tamil calendars sometimes choose the day on which Panchami and Shashthi are joined, so a temple may differ by a day. 2 of this year's 12 entries for Dubai 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.
