Why is Sharad Navratri on Thu 30 Sep?
In New Delhi
Sharad Navratri · Ghatasthapana is on Thu 30 Sep: Pratipada touches pratahkala that morning, and no other.
Amavasya until 08:06, inside pratahkala; then Pratipada. Pratipada: 08:06 to 05:35 Fri.
Pratipada ended at 05:35; pratahkala is Dwitiya. Pratipada: 08:06 Thu to 05:35.
One row per day, on one clock (IST). Band: the tithi. Box: Pratahkala. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Ghatasthapana is done in pratahkala, the first fifth of the day. Pratipada runs from 08:06 on Thu 30 Sep to 05:35 on Fri 1 Oct, so it touches only Thursday’s pratahkala (06:13–08:36).
The rule
Ashwina Shukla Pratipada
Ghatasthapana is done in pratahkala, the first fifth of the day.
- Smarta
- the morning whose pratahkala Pratipada holds; when it touches both, the one it holds more of; when neither, the earlier (Dharmasindhu).
- Vaishnava
- the Smarta day.
Why the cities differ
New Delhi keeps Thu 30 Sep. Kolkata keeps Fri 1 Oct.
Time runs down, the same instant across both columns · each city on its own clock · dashed: tithi changes · filled: what each reading keeps
