Why is Ahoi Ashtami on Thu 12 Oct in Pāthardi?
Ahoi Ashtami is on Thu 12 Oct: Ashtami holds all of pradosha that evening, and no other.
Pradosha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 06:56 Thu.
Ashtami holds all of pradosha, 18:08–20:35. Ashtami: 06:56 to 04:59 Fri.
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 06:56 on Thu 12 Oct to 04:59 on Fri 13 Oct, so only Thursday’s pradosha (18:08–20:35) falls within it. No text giving Ahoi Ashtami’s time was found; pradosha is Tithika’s convention.
