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 London 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 London (5:55 AM) differs significantly from Delhi (~5:30-6:30 AM IST), these timings will be different.
For accurate puja and muhurat in London, always use panchang data calculated for Europe/London timezone, not India-based timings.

Always use local sunrise-based calculations for muhurat.

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