Why Panchang Times Differ by City
The Hindu panchang has two types of calculations: universal and local.
Universal (same everywhere): Tithi (lunar day), Nakshatra (lunar mansion), Yoga, and Karana depend on the Moon's position relative to the Sun. Since the Moon's position is the same for all observers on Earth, these values are identical in Sydney and India.
Local (depends on city): Muhurat (auspicious time), Rahu Kaal (inauspicious period), Brahma Muhurta, and Abhijit Muhurta are all calculated from local sunrise and sunset. Since sunrise in Sydney (6:50 AM) differs significantly from Delhi (~5:30-6:30 AM IST), these timings will be different.
For accurate puja and muhurat in Sydney, always use panchang data calculated for Australia/Sydney timezone, not India-based timings.

Diwali 2026 falls on November 1, 2026 (Sunday). The date is the same in Sydney and India since it follows the Hindu lunar calendar (Kartik Amavasya). However, Lakshmi Puja muhurat timing will differ based on Sydney's local sunset and Pradosh Kaal.
