How this city keeps time

Shri Shiva Vishnu Temple at Carrum Downs is the large agama complex for Victoria. At 37°S, December days are long (southern summer) and June days are short — the opposite of India. A 'winter Brahma Muhurat' WhatsApp card from Punjab describes the wrong season.

Same DST window as Sydney (October–April). Carrum Downs sunrise is later than Helensburgh; do not reuse a Sydney Rahu Kalam graphic.
