Times are local to each city. The date can differ between cities because the tithi and the time of day are worked out for each place.
How this date is chosen
The day is chosen by the tithi during Aparahna (afternoon). If the tithi covers this period on two days, the day with more overlap is taken.
Dates follow the astronomical (Drik) method. Some temples and traditions (Smarta or Vaishnava, Vakya panchangam) follow other rules and can differ by a day. Please confirm with your family purohit.
