Why is Durga Ashtami on Sat 24 Oct in Pāthardi?

Durga Ashtami is on Sat 24 Oct: Ashtami holds sunrise that day.

Sunrise at 06:26 is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 06:57. Ashtami: 06:57 to 06:59 Sat.

Ashtami at sunrise, 06:26. Ashtami: 06:57 Fri to 06:59.

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

Durga Ashtami follows the tithi at sunrise. Ashtami runs from 06:57 on Fri 23 Oct to 06:59 on Sat 24 Oct, so it holds sunrise only on Sat 24 Oct, at 06:26. 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.
