Why is Durga Ashtami on Thu 26 Sep in Diffa?

Durga Ashtami is on Thu 26 Sep: Ashtami holds sunrise that day.

Sunrise at 05:58 is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 12:40.

Ashtami at sunrise, 05:58. Ashtami: 12:40 Wed to 14:27.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC+1). Band: the tithi. Line: Sunrise. Light strip: day; dark strip: night.

Durga Ashtami follows the tithi at sunrise. Ashtami runs from 12:40 on Wed 25 Sep to 14:27 on Thu 26 Sep, so it holds sunrise only on Thu 26 Sep, at 05:58. 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.
