Questions
Which Hindu festivals are in May 2027 in the USA?
Akshaya Tritiya: May 8.
Why are some dates in the USA different from India?
A festival is fixed by the tithi at the right time of day (sunrise, sunset, moonrise and so on) in your own city. USA is 4½ to 15½ hours away from India, so the same tithi can fall on a different local day. This month 6 of 11 days differ from India.
Is the date the same on the East and West coast?
Not always: this month 3 dates differ between time zones, shown side by side in the table.
