What changes with location
With a sunrise-anchored panchangam, the same sky moment can land on different civil dates. The sample below is engine-computed - not a live daily table.
Sample: 2026-06-15 (engine) - not live today
| Place | Sunrise | Tithi at sunrise | Nakshatra |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chennai | 15 Jun 2026, 05:43 | Amavasya | Mrigashira |
| Chicago | 15 Jun 2026, 15:46 | Pratipada | Mrigashira |
On this sample day, Chennai sunrise tithi is Amavasya while Chicago sunrise tithi is Pratipada - same civil date label intent, different limb at local sunrise.
How AstroYogam handles it
- · IANA timezones and historical rules (not a fixed IST offset)
- · Local sunrise - disc-center with refraction
- · Lahiri sidereal positions; geocentric Moon
- · DST via the timezone database - no manual hour hacks

Why Local Panchangam Matters in Chicago
With an 11-hour average difference between IST and US Central Time, the sky moment of sunrise in Chicago is vastly different from Chennai. This frequently causes tithi and nakshatra transitions to fall on different civil dates.
For Tamil households across Chicago, Naperville, and Schaumburg, relying on local coordinate calculations ensures authentic observance of vratams, festivals, and muhurthams.

Should I use India times abroad?
For sunrise-anchored limbs - no. Use local sunrise for your place; the same sky moment can land on different civil dates.
Does DST affect nalla neram?
Wall-clock labels move with the zone; sky events are continuous. AstroYogam uses IANA timezone rules - not a fixed IST offset.
Which panchangam do temples in Chicago follow?
It varies by temple - ask the local priest. We compute Thirukanitha for the coordinates you set.
