Why is Durga Ashtami on Tue 29 Sep in Diffa?

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

Sunrise at 05:58 is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 09:36.

Ashtami at sunrise, 05:58. Ashtami: 09:36 Mon to 10:35.

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 09:36 on Mon 28 Sep to 10:35 on Tue 29 Sep, so it holds sunrise only on Tue 29 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.
