Why is Durga Ashtami on Sun 20 Oct in Diffa?

Durga Ashtami is on Sun 20 Oct: Ashtami holds sunrise that day.

Sunrise at 06:00 is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 08:11. Ashtami: 08:11 to 06:04 Sun.

Ashtami at sunrise, 06:00. Ashtami: 08:11 Sat to 06:04.

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 08:11 on Sat 19 Oct to 06:04 on Sun 20 Oct, so it holds sunrise only on Sun 20 Oct, at 06:00. 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.
