Why is Durga Ashtami on Thu 28 Sep in Diffa?
Durga Ashtami is on Thu 28 Sep: Ashtami holds sunrise that day.
Sunrise at 05:58 is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 14:38.
Ashtami at sunrise, 05:58. Ashtami: 14:38 Wed to 17:06.
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 14:38 on Wed 27 Sep to 17:06 on Thu 28 Sep, so it holds sunrise only on Thu 28 Sep, at 05:58. No text giving Durga Ashtami’s time was found; sunrise is Tithika’s convention.
