icexelloss opened a new issue, #47400:
URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/47400

   ### Describe the enhancement requested
   
   In Pandas, there is a way to do "day offset shift" that is day light saving 
aware, e.g.
   
   ```
   import pyarrow as pa
   import pandas as pd
   import pyarrow.compute as pc
   
   begin = pd.Timestamp('20250308 9:30', tz='America/New_York')
   print(begin)
   print(begin + pd.DateOffset(days=1))
   print(begin + pd.DateOffset(days=2))
   ```
   
   Outputs:
   ```
   2025-03-08 09:30:00-05:00
   2025-03-09 09:30:00-04:00
   2025-03-10 09:30:00-04:00
   ```
   
   However, there is no way to do such operations as far as I am aware with 
arrow compute, the closest I found is this
   ```
   begin = pa.scalar(pd.Timestamp('20250309', tz='America/New_York'))
   pc.add(begin, pa.scalar((0, 1, 0), type=pa.month_day_nano_interval()))
   ```
   
   However, it seems not supported, I also didn't find any specific arrow 
compute function to do this. 
   
   IMO this would be really useful to deal with time in non-UTC timezone.
   
   ### Component(s)
