Why these dates are local
Hindu festival dates follow the tithi at local sunrise, not a fixed Gregorian date and not a simple IST conversion. UAE sits in a different timezone from India, and sunrise happens at a different longitude — so the same Kartika tithi can name a different civil morning. Muhurat windows (Pradosh Kaal, Aparahna, moonrise, Arghya) are always recomputed from this place's coordinates.
