Why the dates differ between countries
A tithi is a stretch of time that starts and ends at a fixed moment worldwide, but a festival is kept on the day when that tithi is present at a particular point, such as sunrise or moonrise in your own city. The same tithi can therefore fall on different calendar days in Dallas and Hyderabad. It is the same reason Ekadashi fasting days sometimes differ between the two.
Every date above comes from the open-source engine in the Telugu New Tab Calendar extension, run for each city's own sunrise, moonrise and time zone. Dates for Austin, Houston, Atlanta, Chicago, Seattle, Boston and more are on the individual pages: Naraka Chaturdashi, Deepavali and Karthika Masam begins.
