Why do rahu kaal times in Los Angeles differ from the Delhi reference?

This page is computed for Los Angeles’s own coordinates (34.05°N, 118.24°W) in the America/Los_Angeles time zone, not re-used from Delhi. Because every window is anchored to local sunrise, a different longitude shifts the clock times — and cities far east or west of Delhi can even observe a different tithi for the day.

How does daylight saving time affect rahu kaal in Los Angeles?

The page always uses the city’s current PST offset, so the clock times above already reflect daylight saving time. When the clocks change in spring and autumn, the printed times jump by an hour while the underlying sun-anchored windows stay the same.
