Why is Ahoi Ashtami on Thu 28 Oct in Diffa?

Ahoi Ashtami is on Thu 28 Oct: Ashtami holds all of pradosha that evening, and no other.

Ashtami holds all of pradosha, 17:44–20:11. Ashtami: 08:19 to 09:39 Fri.

Ashtami ended at 09:39; pradosha is Navami.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC+1). 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 08:19 on Thu 28 Oct to 09:39 on Fri 29 Oct, so only Thursday’s pradosha (17:44–20:11) falls within it. No text giving Ahoi Ashtami’s time was found; pradosha is Tithika’s convention.

The rule

Kartika Krishna Ashtami (purnimanta) · Ashwina Krishna Ashtami (amanta)

Ahoi Ashtami’s puja is done in pradosha, the 3 muhurtas after sunset.

Smarta: the evening whose pradosha Ashtami holds: Tithika’s convention, since no text gives the time.
Vaishnava: the Smarta day.
