About this month

May 2016 in Chennai runs through Chaitra and Vaishakha masas. Sunrise moves from 5:49 AM on the 1st to 5:42 AM on the 31th, so Rahu Kalam, Abhijit and every other timing shift with it.

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