Chaitra Navratri Ghatasthapana muhurat: what time?
Why is Chaitra Navratri on Sun 6 Apr in Pāthardi?

Pratipada ended at 06:09; pratahkala is Dwitiya. Pratipada: 09:25 Sun to 06:09.
One row per day, on one clock (IST). Band: the tithi. Box: Pratahkala. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Ghatasthapana is done in pratahkala, the first fifth of the day. Pratipada runs from 09:25 on Sun 6 Apr to 06:09 on Mon 7 Apr, between the two mornings’ pratahkala, touching neither. The Nirnayasindhu then takes the earlier day: Sun 6 Apr. No text giving Chaitra Navratri · Ghatasthapana’s time was found; pratahkala is Tithika’s convention.
