Why is Ahoi Ashtami on Wed 31 Oct in Pāthardi?
Ahoi Ashtami is on Wed 31 Oct: Ashtami holds all of pradosha that evening, and no other.
Ashtami holds all of pradosha, 17:56–20:26. Ashtami: 11:10 to 09:10 Thu.
Ashtami ended at 09:10; 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 11:10 on Wed 31 Oct to 09:10 on Thu 1 Nov, so only Wednesday’s pradosha (17:56–20:26) falls within it. No text giving Ahoi Ashtami’s time was found; pradosha is Tithika’s convention.
