Why is Durga Ashtami on Tue 26 Sep?
In New Delhi
Durga Ashtami is on Tue 26 Sep: Ashtami holds sunrise that day.
Sunrise at 06:11 is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 06:33. Ashtami: 06:33 to 06:58 Tue.
Ashtami at sunrise, 06:11. Ashtami: 06:33 Mon to 06:58.
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 06:33 on Mon 25 Sep to 06:58 on Tue 26 Sep, so it holds sunrise only on Tue 26 Sep, at 06:11. 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.
