Why is Durga Ashtami on Sat 29 Sep in Simrishamn?

Durga Ashtami is on Sat 29 Sep: Ashtami holds sunrise that day.

Sunrise at 05:57 is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 17:48.

Ashtami at sunrise, 05:59. Ashtami: 17:48 Fri to 16:41.

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 17:48 on Fri 28 Sep to 16:41 on Sat 29 Sep, so it holds sunrise only on Sat 29 Sep, at 05:59. 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.
