Why is Ahoi Ashtami on Tue 21 Oct in Pāthardi?
Ahoi Ashtami is on Tue 21 Oct: Ashtami holds all of pradosha that evening, and no other.
Pradosha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 06:17 Tue.
Ashtami holds all of pradosha, 18:01–20:30. Ashtami: 06:17 to 04:38 Wed.
One row per day, on one clock (IST). Band: the tithi. Box: Pradosha. Light strip: day; dark strip: night.
Ahoi Ashtami’s puja is done in pradosha, the 3 muhurtas after sunset. Ashtami runs from 06:17 on Tue 21 Oct to 04:38 on Wed 22 Oct, so only Tuesday’s pradosha (18:01–20:30) falls within it. No text giving Ahoi Ashtami’s time was found; pradosha is Tithika’s convention.
