Other seasonal names identify the Amavasya; they do not calculate separate ritual times.

Pradosha overlap (sunset + 144 minutes); later evening if both qualify. This is not a Lagna-based puja muhurta.

Do Amavasya dates in Philadelphia differ from pan-India lists?
They can. Because the ruling sunrise depends on longitude, latitude and timezone (America/New_York), a tithi ending just before local sunrise in Philadelphia may still span sunrise in Delhi — shifting the civil date by a day. This page lists the hyper-local dates for Philadelphia, not a generic India table.
