Why Kuala Lumpur needs its own Panchang, not India's

The sun rises in Kuala Lumpur at 6:57 AM MYT today, 1 h 56 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 Kuala Lumpur time, would be 11:45 AM to 1:11 PM - but Kuala Lumpur's own Rahu Kaal is 9:58 AM to 11:28 AM.

Today the tithi at sunrise is Shukla Shashthi in Kuala Lumpur 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 Kuala Lumpur 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.
