Times are local to each city, computed from its own coordinates and real UTC offset for that date — so daylight saving is already accounted for. The muhurat is the part of Pradosh Kaal (from sunset for one-fifth of the night) in which the fixed sign Vrishabha (Taurus) is rising, within the festival's tithi, computed with Swiss Ephemeris and the Lahiri ayanamsa.

Why can the date differ from India?
A tithi is a 12° step of the Moon's elongation from the Sun. It begins and ends at a single instant everywhere on Earth. What changes by location is whether the moment the rule points at — sunrise, sunset or moonrise — falls inside that window on a given local date. That is why the shift runs opposite to the timezone: places west of India can observe a day earlier, places east a day later.
