Why Hong Kong needs its own Panchang, not India's
The sun rises in Hong Kong at 6:20 AM HKT today, 2 h 33 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 Hong Kong time, would be 11:45 AM to 1:11 PM - but Hong Kong's own Rahu Kaal is 9:14 AM to 10:42 AM.
Today the tithi at sunrise is Shukla Shashthi in Hong Kong 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 Hong Kong 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.
