Why Perth needs its own Panchang, not India's
The sun rises in Perth at 5:35 AM AWST today, 3 h 18 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 Perth time, would be 11:45 AM to 1:11 PM - but Perth's own Rahu Kaal is 8:49 AM to 10:25 AM.
Today the tithi at sunrise is Shukla Shashthi in Perth 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 Perth 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.
