Why is Narak Chaturdashi on Sun 8 Nov?
In New Delhi
Narak Chaturdashi is on Sun 8 Nov: Chaturdashi holds all of arunodaya that morning, and no other.
Arunodaya is Trayodashi; Chaturdashi begins at 10:48.
Chaturdashi holds all of arunodaya, 05:02–06:38. Chaturdashi: 10:48 Sat to 11:28.
One row per day, on one clock (IST). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
The abhyanga bath is taken in arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. Chaturdashi runs from 10:48 on Sat 7 Nov to 11:28 on Sun 8 Nov, so only Sunday’s arunodaya (05:02–06:38) falls within it. No text giving Narak Chaturdashi’s time was found; arunodaya is Tithika’s convention.
The rule
Kartika Krishna Chaturdashi (purnimanta) · Ashwina Krishna Chaturdashi (amanta)
The abhyanga bath is taken in arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise.
- Smarta
- the morning whose arunodaya Chaturdashi holds: 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.
