Why is Sashti Vratham in Chicago on a different day from India?
The thithi or star behind Sashti Vratham begins and ends at the same instant worldwide, but that instant falls at a different local hour in Chicago, and Chicago's sunrise is different too.

India here means the Chennai printed almanac (Vakya); Chicago dates are Thirukanitha by the local sunrise.
