Why is Durga Ashtami on Wed 21 Oct in Diffa?
Durga Ashtami is on Wed 21 Oct: Ashtami holds sunrise that day.
Sunrise at 06:00 is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 09:53.
Ashtami at sunrise, 06:00. Ashtami: 09:53 Tue to 08:59.
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 09:53 on Tue 20 Oct to 08:59 on Wed 21 Oct, so it holds sunrise only on Wed 21 Oct, at 06:00. No text giving Durga Ashtami’s time was found; sunrise is Tithika’s convention.
