A year of festivals and observances as kept in Karnataka. The Kannada calendar is amanta luni-solar on the Shaka era — months run from one new moon to the next — and its festival set covers the Ekadashis, the twelve Sankrantis, eclipses, and the regional days: Yugadi, Gowri Habba, Kamanahabba, the Karaga festival, Sakat and Karwa Chauth.
Pass year with latitude, longitude and UTC offset. The place matters because several observances are fixed by the tithi at sunrise or by moonrise. The response is {year, events} with each event {name, date}, in date order, typically well over a hundred entries. Eclipse rows carry a type suffix, for example 'Surya Grahan *Valayakara'.
The year must be between 2006 and 2046.

Notes
latitude
number (double)
required
Latitude of the place, in decimal degrees. Positive is north, negative is south. Example: 26.9124 for Jaipur, 40.7128 for New York. Minutes and seconds are not accepted - convert first.
longitude
number (double)
required
Longitude of the place, in decimal degrees. Positive is east, negative is west. Example: 75.7873 for Jaipur, -74.0060 for New York. Note the sign: a missing minus puts New York in China.
timezone_as_float
number (double)
required
UTC offset of the place, in hours, as a decimal. Example: 5.5 for India (UTC+05:30), -5 for New York in winter, 5.75 for Nepal. This is NOT validated against date_time - if the two disagree you get a successful response for the wrong moment, so derive both from the same source. Use the offset in force on that date, not today's: a summer birth in a country with daylight saving needs the summer offset.
year
integer
required
Year of birth as a number, e.g. 1990. Four digits.
