Why Wellington needs its own Panchang, not India's
The sun rises in Wellington at 6:28 AM NZDT today, 7 h 26 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 Wellington time, would be 11:53 PM to 1:19 AM, Oct 19 - but Wellington's own Rahu Kaal is 6:05 PM to 7:45 PM.
Today both cities wake to the same tithi, Shukla Saptami. On days when a tithi changes between the two sunrises, a fast or festival can fall on a different date in Wellington than in India - which is why festival dates abroad should be worked out for the city you live in. Tithi and Nakshatra ending times are the same instant everywhere, so those convert from IST exactly; anything tied to sunrise does not.
