Timings by city: India, USA, UK, Canada, Australia

Every time is computed for the city's own coordinates and time zone (daylight saving applied); nothing is converted from IST. The last column is the part of the day the rule judges, sunrise; the date is the day the tithi covers it. It is the window the tradition names for the observance, not a separately chosen muhurtham; we do not print other muhurthams because we have not verified them.

How the date is decided

The Navaratri day on which Mula nakshatra prevails at sunrise (Saraswati avahana); else the day Mula begins.

Some almanacs (drikpanchang, prokerala.com) do the Saraswati avahana on the day Mula nakshatra covers the afternoon; when Mula begins shortly after sunrise that can be the day before the date shown here, and they then list 'Saraswati Puja' on the following day.

Date by city

Different date in 9 of 215 cities: Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Canberra, Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Suva — the tithi is judged against each city's own sunrise and local time (daylight saving included), so the day can shift for cities far from India.
