Computed with the Swiss Ephemeris, sidereal zodiac, Lahiri ayanāṁśa 24°14′, for 12:00 IST. Tithi, nakshatra, yoga and karana are geocentric — they do not depend on your city. Traditional panchangs quote values at local sunrise, so figures can differ by a few minutes around a transition. In our check our Sun and Moon agreed with NASA JPL's DE440 ephemeris to about 2″; Drik Panchang's Moon runs about 30″ ahead of it, so its tithi and karana endings tend to come a minute earlier than ours.
