Why is Maha Navami on Wed 27 Sep?
In New Delhi
Maha Navami is on Wed 27 Sep: Navami holds sunrise that day.
Sunrise at 06:11 is Ashtami; Navami begins at 06:58. Navami: 06:58 to 08:09 Wed.
Navami at sunrise, 06:12. Navami: 06:58 Tue to 08:09.
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 06:58 on Tue 26 Sep to 08:09 on Wed 27 Sep, so it holds sunrise only on Wed 27 Sep, at 06:12. 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 Wed 27 Sep. Dubai keeps Tue 26 Sep.
Time runs down, the same instant across both columns · each city on its own clock · dashed: tithi changes · filled: what each reading keeps
