Start and end times are in Hamilton time. A vrat is usually kept on the day the Tithi is running at sunrise; your family or temple tradition may differ.
The length of the day decides the length of Rahu Kaal. In Hamilton the shortest day has about 9 h 33 min of daylight and the longest about 14 h 47 min (today: 13 h 39 min), which gives a Rahu Kaal of 72 to 111 minutes.
Sunrise in Hamilton today is 6:13 AM, 3 minutes earlier on the clock than in Auckland (114 km away). Even nearby cities need their own Panchang.
On 31 October the sunrise Tithi in Hamilton is Krishna Shashthi; in Delhi it is Krishna Saptami. This is why a vrat date from an Indian calendar can be a day off in Hamilton.
Hamilton is on New Zealand Daylight Time (UTC+13), 7 h 30 min ahead of India.
Hamilton uses daylight saving time, so the gap to India changes during the year:
If you were born in Hamilton, enter your birth time exactly as it is written on your birth certificate. That is the local clock time, already including summer time if it applied, and the birthplace tells the calculation which time zone to use.

No. Saturn's position is the same everywhere, so Sade Sati depends only on your Moon sign. Living in Hamilton does not change it, but local timings for remedies, such as Saturday Rahu Kaal, do follow Hamilton time.
Saturn has been in Meena (Pisces) since 29 March 2025 and moves into Mesha (Aries) in June 2027. Until then Sade Sati runs for Kumbha (Aquarius, last phase), Meena (Pisces, peak phase) and Mesha (Aries, first phase), and Shani Dhaiya for Simha (Leo) and Dhanu (Sagittarius).
