Why is the panchang different in Leicester than in India?

Tithi and nakshatra are moments in the sky, but the panchang is read at local sunrise. Because the sun rises at a different absolute time in Leicester, the tithi prevailing at sunrise can differ from India — which is why festival observance dates sometimes differ abroad.
