Skanda Shashthi in Paramaribo: questions
+ How many Skanda Shashthi days are there in 2034 in Paramaribo?
12, computed for Paramaribo's coordinates and the America/Paramaribo time zone. The first falls on Wed, Jan 25 and the last on Sat, Dec 16.
+ Are Paramaribo 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 Paramaribo. In 2034, 6 of 12 dates match the Indian (Ujjain) date, 6 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. 1 of this year's 12 entries for Paramaribo 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.
