Why Adelaide needs its own Panchang, not India's

The sun rises in Adelaide at 6:31 AM ACDT today, 4 h 52 min before it rises in New Delhi. Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda, Gulika, Abhijit and Choghadiya are all counted from that local sunrise. New Delhi's Rahu Kaal today, converted to Adelaide time, would be 2:15 PM to 3:41 PM - but Adelaide's own Rahu Kaal is 9:46 AM to 11:24 AM.

Today the tithi at sunrise is Shukla Shashthi in Adelaide but Shukla Saptami in New Delhi, because the tithi changes between the two sunrises. On days like this a fast or festival can fall on a different date in Adelaide than in India. Tithi and Nakshatra ending times are the same instant everywhere, so those convert from IST exactly; anything tied to sunrise does not.
