Amavasya in Nairobi: questions
+ How many Amavasya days are there in 2034 in Nairobi?
12, computed for Nairobi's coordinates and the Africa/Nairobi time zone. The first falls on Fri, Jan 20 and the last on Sun, Dec 10.
+ Are Nairobi Amavasya 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 Nairobi. In 2034, 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 Amavasya tithi is in force at sunrise. The exact new-moon instant is shown alongside. 1 of this year's 12 entries for Nairobi 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.
