Why this city matters
Toronto’s civil date can differ from India while a tithi is still changing. The hub calculates from local sunrise and observes Canadian daylight saving.
A tithi is an astronomical interval, while sunrise and civil-date boundaries depend on location. This page uses the listed city rather than converting an Indian timetable.
Is the displayed time a compulsory puja time?+
No. It is a transparent local review interval for the festival rule. Family, temple and sampradaya requirements can produce a narrower or different decision.
Does this page confirm a local temple event?+
No. It gives a calculated observance guide. Always check the organiser or temple for its programme, access rules and final timings.
