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. For Holi, the puja falls in the pradosh twilight just after sunset. * Here the tithi does not cover the reference moment above on any nearby date, so the date follows the general sunrise rule and the time shown is local sunrise, not a puja time.
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.
