Local timings
Why this can differ from India
Hindu festival dates follow the tithi at local sunrise, not a fixed Gregorian date and not a simple IST conversion. Leicester sits in a different timezone from India, and sunrise happens at a different longitude — so the same Kartika tithi can name a different civil morning. Muhurat windows (Pradosh Kaal, Aparahna, moonrise, Arghya) are always recomputed from this place's coordinates.
What to do at home
Take sargi before local sunrise. Keep the nirjala fast through the day. In the evening, complete the karva puja, then break the fast after sighting the moon through a sieve — use the moonrise on this page for your city.
