Why are the engagement dates for Sydney different from an Indian calendar?

The Hindu day runs from local sunrise to local sunrise, so the tithi and nakshatram in force on a given date in Sydney are read at Sydney's sunrise — not Chennai's. On days where an element changes near dawn the two calendars simply land on different dates. Every date on this page is computed for Sydney specifically.

Q: How many engagement dates are there in 2028 for Sydney?

95 in 2028. Dates for a nichayathartham. The rules are looser than the wedding's — the month blocks and combustion periods still apply, but the nakshatra list is wider and Saturday is not excluded.

Why these dates

Dates for a nichayathartham. The rules are looser than the wedding's — the month blocks and combustion periods still apply, but the nakshatra list is wider and Saturday is not excluded.

Each date above passed every rule for a engagement in our published rule set — the nakshatram and tithi prevailing at sunrise in Sydney, the weekday, the Tamil month, and where it applies the planetary combustion (moudhyam) periods and eclipse days. The rahu kalam column is a caution rather than a filter: the date can be good and the hour still needs choosing.
