Tithi and nakshatra change at the same moment worldwide, but the panchang day starts at local sunrise, and Rahu Kaal, Choghadiya and muhurtas are divisions of the local day. Durban's sunrise comes hours after India's, so the tithi 'at sunrise' and all timings differ — which is why a festival can fall on a different date here.
Durban local time (SAST).
With the Swiss Ephemeris (Lahiri ayanamsha) for Durban's latitude and longitude; Moon rise/set use the disc centre without refraction, as standard panchangs do.
