Why do Panchang timings differ between Washington D.C. and New Delhi?
Vedic time divisions are based on local solar sunrise and apparent solar noon at Washington D.C.'s specific longitude (-77.04°) and latitude (38.91°). Because sunrise shifts approximately 1 minute for every 15 longitudinal minutes, relying on a generic Delhi almanac causes timing inaccuracies for Washington D.C..
