Purnima in Wellington: questions
+ How many Purnima days are there in 2033 in Wellington?
12, computed for Wellington's coordinates and the Pacific/Auckland time zone. The first falls on Sat, Jan 15 and the last on Tue, Dec 6.
+ Are Wellington Purnima 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 Wellington. In 2033, 9 of 12 dates match the Indian (Ujjain) date, 0 fall a day earlier and 3 a day later.
+ How is the date decided?
This calendar uses the local day on which the Purnima tithi is in force at sunrise. The exact full-moon instant is also shown, because many people observe the evening the moon is fullest. 2 of this year's 12 entries for Wellington 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.
