Full panchang for Thu 28 Oct in MaclearNarak Chaturdashi Abhyanga snan muhurat: what time?
Why is Narak Chaturdashi on Thu 28 Oct in Maclear?
Narak Chaturdashi is on Thu 28 Oct: Chaturdashi holds all of arunodaya that morning, and no other.
Chaturdashi holds all of arunodaya, 03:38–05:14. Chaturdashi: 19:20 Wed to 17:18.
Chaturdashi ended at 17:18 Thu; arunodaya is Amavasya.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+2). 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 19:20 on Wed 27 Oct to 17:18 on Thu 28 Oct, so only Thursday’s arunodaya (03:38–05:14) falls within it. No text giving Narak Chaturdashi’s time was found; arunodaya is Tithika’s convention.
