Why is Durga Ashtami on Thu 7 Oct?
In New Delhi
Durga Ashtami is on Thu 7 Oct: Ashtami holds two sunrises, and the first is taken.
Ashtami at sunrise, 06:17. Ashtami: 04:13 to 06:28 Fri.
Ashtami at sunrise, 06:17. Ashtami: 04:13 Thu to 06:28.
One row per day, on one clock (IST). Band: the tithi. Line: Sunrise. Light strip: day; dark strip: night.
Durga Ashtami follows the tithi at sunrise. Ashtami holds both sunrises, 06:17 on Thu 7 Oct and 06:17 on Fri 8 Oct. Over two sunrises the Nirnayasindhu takes the first: Thu 7 Oct. No text giving Durga Ashtami’s time was found; sunrise is Tithika’s convention.
The rule
Ashwina Shukla Ashtami
Durga Ashtami follows the tithi at sunrise.
- Smarta
- the day Ashtami holds at sunrise: Tithika’s convention, since no text gives the time.
- Vaishnava
- the Smarta day.
Each city’s date and times are worked out at its own sunrise and sunset; each city’s page draws the reason.
