Named by the civil weekday in Chicago (America/Chicago): Bhaumvati (3): Tue 2028/01/25, Tue 2028/05/23, Tue 2028/10/17; Shani (2): Sat 2028/03/25, Sat 2028/08/19; Somvati (2): Mon 2028/04/24, Mon 2028/09/18.
Do Amavasya dates in Chicago differ from pan-India lists?
They can. Because the ruling sunrise depends on longitude, latitude and timezone (America/Chicago), a tithi ending just before local sunrise in Chicago may still span sunrise in Delhi — shifting the civil date by a day. This page lists the hyper-local dates for Chicago, not a generic India table.
