About this month

December 2017 in Cape Town runs through Margashirsha and Pausha masas. Sunrise moves from 5:29 AM on the 1st to 5:39 AM on the 31th, so Rahu Kalam, Abhijit and every other timing shift with it.

Dates follow the tithi at Cape Town's sunrise (or the kaal each festival requires), which is why some fall a day earlier than in India.
