Full panchang for Tue 4 Oct in Diffa

Why is Durga Ashtami on Tue 4 Oct in Diffa?

Durga Ashtami is on Tue 4 Oct: Ashtami holds sunrise that day.

Sunrise at 05:59 is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 16:32.

Ashtami at sunrise, 05:59. Ashtami: 16:32 Mon to 16:07.

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 16:32 on Mon 3 Oct to 16:07 on Tue 4 Oct, so it holds sunrise only on Tue 4 Oct, 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.
