How to make panchAngas for use by communities living in Australia or Argentina?
Can't escape making separate festival timings - since many events are seasonal! (Unlike northern hemisphere fixes like Artava-chAndra-mAna computation)
This can be done by having separate festival repositories; or by marking "injunction era + location" for events. For example "श्रावण्याम् पौर्णमास्याम् ओषधीषु जातेषु" refers to an era when monsoon in India (=daxiNAyanArambha) started with shrAvaNa-pUrva-paxa.
Once such markings are done, one can dynamically assign the event based on the user's location and era (In the example quoted earlier - the pUrNima closer to the daxINAyanArambha in the quoted example for someone in 20th CE northern hemisphere).
For southern hemisphere, given "वसन्ते ब्राह्मणम् उपनयीत" etc.. "उत्तरायण" for deva-karmas and "दक्षिणायन" for pitR-karmas would be flipped.
Should yama-naxatra-s remain the same?
