Why is Ahoi Ashtami on Wed 15 Oct in Pāthardi?
Ahoi Ashtami is on Wed 15 Oct: Ashtami holds all of pradosha that evening, and no other.
Ashtami holds all of pradosha, 18:06–20:33. Ashtami: 11:45 to 13:45 Thu.
Ashtami ended at 13:45; pradosha is Navami.
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 11:45 on Wed 15 Oct to 13:45 on Thu 16 Oct, so only Wednesday’s pradosha (18:06–20:33) falls within it. No text giving Ahoi Ashtami’s time was found; pradosha is Tithika’s convention.
