Why is Durga Ashtami on Tue 30 Sep?
In New Delhi
Durga Ashtami is on Tue 30 Sep: Ashtami holds sunrise that day.
Sunrise at 06:13 is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 16:32.
Ashtami at sunrise, 06:13. Ashtami: 16:32 Mon to 18:06.
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 16:32 on Mon 29 Sep to 18:06 on Tue 30 Sep, so it holds sunrise only on Tue 30 Sep, at 06:13. 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.
Each city’s date and times are worked out at its own sunrise and sunset; each city’s page draws the reason.
