Full panchang for Thu 9 Oct in Orting

Why is Durga Ashtami on Thu 9 Oct in Orting?

Durga Ashtami is on Thu 9 Oct: Ashtami holds sunrise that day.

Sunrise at 07:17 is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 17:47.

Ashtami at sunrise, 07:18. Ashtami: 17:47 Wed to 16:47.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC−7). Band: the tithi. Line: Sunrise. Light strip: day; dark strip: night.

Durga Ashtami follows the tithi at sunrise. Ashtami runs from 17:47 on Wed 8 Oct to 16:47 on Thu 9 Oct, so it holds sunrise only on Thu 9 Oct, at 07:18. 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.
