Frequently Asked Questions
Q.Why is the precise location of passing important for calculating Shraddha Tithi?
The celestial start and end times of a lunar day (Tithi) depend entirely on sunrise timings, which vary significantly across geographic coordinates. Providing the exact city ensures we calculate the astronomically precise Tithi that was prevailing at the exact moment and location of passing.
Q.How does the system handle worldwide passing locations outside of Nepal or India?
Instead of applying arbitrary day-offsets, our tool utilizes the strict Drik Siddhanta (precise astronomical algorithms) to calculate planetary positions based on the exact timezone, latitude, and longitude of the location provided. This guarantees an accurate Tithi reading anywhere in the world.
Q.Does the Shraddha date shift depending on where I live now?
No, the anchor of the Shraddha is the exact Tithi that was active at the time and place of the ancestor's passing. The Shraddha dates generated by our tool are mapped to that original Tithi, though the specific observance day locally should align with when that Tithi falls during the Aparahna (afternoon) period in your current location.
