Questions

Aadi Amavasai: Aug 1; Aadi Perukku: Aug 2; Varalakshmi Vratam: Aug 13; Raksha Bandhan: Aug 16; Krishna Janmashtami: Aug 24.
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 10 of 15 days differ from India.
Is the date the same on the East and West coast?
Not always: this month 2 dates differ between time zones, shown side by side in the table.
