The day follows the tithi at each place, so it is not always the same everywhere.

Moonrise is the calculated time for a level horizon. Hills, buildings and cloud can delay the first sighting.

Festival days are worked out from the tithi for each place. They can fall a day apart between regions, traditions and countries, and public holidays are set by each country’s own authority, so please confirm with your local calendar. In Nepal, festival days and public holidays are fixed each year by the Nepal Panchanga Nirnayak Samiti and the government.
