ह्यूस्टन पंचांग · Houston panchang by month
Not the same day as India · भारत से अलग दिन
A festival day is fixed by the tithi at your own sunrise, sunset or moonrise. In Houston these 32 fall on a different date from India, so a calendar printed in India would put you on the wrong day:

How these were found: each festival's own rule (udaya tithi, pradosh, nishita, moonrise, Vrishabha lagna, sankranti) applied to Houston's sunrise, sunset and moonrise, from the Swiss Ephemeris with Lahiri ayanamsa. Printed almanacs can differ by a few minutes, and where a tithi straddles sunrise, by a day. Your mandir's, gurdwara's or derasar's date is the one to keep.
