Keep every time with its location
For London, the checked calendar lists Chaturthi from 2:36am on 14 September to 3:14am on 15 September, with its stated Madhyahna puja window from 11:39am to 2:12pm.
For New York City, it lists Chaturthi from 9:36pm on 13 September to 10:14pm on 14 September, with the stated puja window from 11:36am to 2:06pm. These are publisher calculations, not a universal ruling from this product.
Four checks before using a published time
- Confirm the city and timezone shown by the calendar.
- Confirm that daylight-saving time is included where applicable.
- Treat a puja window as local clock time for that named city.
- Do not combine an India muhurta with London or New York tithi boundaries.
Prepare before ceremony day
Several days before, choose the household ceremony route, check reusable vessels and arrange specialist supplies. The day before, clean the puja area, group offerings and food separately, and test the playback device.
On the day, prepare fresh food and liquids at the appropriate time, decide which adult will handle flame or restricted plants, and open the family’s chosen local calendar.
