Why is Maha Navami on Sat 9 Oct?
In New Delhi
Maha Navami is on Sat 9 Oct: Navami holds sunrise that day.
Sunrise at 06:17 is Ashtami; Navami begins at 06:28. Navami: 06:28 to 09:02 Sat.
Navami at sunrise, 06:18. Navami: 06:28 Fri to 09:02.
One row per day, on one clock (IST). Band: the tithi. Line: Sunrise. Light strip: day; dark strip: night.
Maha Navami follows the tithi at sunrise. Navami runs from 06:28 on Fri 8 Oct to 09:02 on Sat 9 Oct, so it holds sunrise only on Sat 9 Oct, at 06:18. No text giving Maha Navami’s time was found; sunrise is Tithika’s convention.
The rule
Ashwina Shukla Navami
Maha Navami follows the tithi at sunrise.
- Smarta
- the day Navami holds at sunrise: Tithika’s convention, since no text gives the time.
- Vaishnava
- the Smarta day.
Why the cities differ
New Delhi keeps Sat 9 Oct. Mumbai keeps Fri 8 Oct.
Time runs down, the same instant across both columns · each city on its own clock · dashed: tithi changes · filled: what each reading keeps
