Happy Diwali and Happy New Year
Today is Naraka Chaturdashi and
Diwali in USA/Canada/West Indies.

Diwali to be observed when
amavasya prevails during pradosha kala — roughly 144 minutes after sunset.
Amavasya timings:
USA /
Canada
· Pacific

am
·
Mountain time begin at November 6 2018 9:57:11 am ends at

·
Eastern time begin at November 6 2018 1157:11 am ends at
November 7 2018 11:01:56 am
· India
amavasya begins November 6th 10:27:11 pm and ends at on November 7th 9:31:56 pm
Average sunset is USA/Canada
during November will be after 4 PM. Average sunset in India in November will be
after 4:30 PM. It is clear from above timings that amavasya before and prevails
after sunset on November 6th in USA & Canada but it doesn’t prevail on
November 7th during sunset or during 80% part before sunset on November 7th.
Hence Diwali in USA and Canada will be on November 6th 2018.
Whereas in India amavasya starts
past sunset at 10:57:11 pm and prevails whole day on November 7th and hence
Diwali in India will be on November 7th 2018.
If only the earth was flat then
Indian panchang prepared for a specific city will be applicable to everywhere
in the world but the problem is that even in India there are sometimes dates
differences between Mumbai and Kolkata, forget about using that out of India.
