Full panchang for Thu 28 Sep in Same

Why is Durga Ashtami on Thu 28 Sep in Same?

Durga Ashtami is on Thu 28 Sep: Ashtami holds sunrise that day.

Sunrise at 06:16 is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 16:38.

Ashtami at sunrise, 06:15. Ashtami: 16:38 Wed to 19:06.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC+3). Band: the tithi. Line: Sunrise. Light strip: day; dark strip: night.

Durga Ashtami follows the tithi at sunrise. Ashtami runs from 16:38 on Wed 27 Sep to 19:06 on Thu 28 Sep, so it holds sunrise only on Thu 28 Sep, at 06:15. 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.
