Why is Sharad Purnima on Sat 15 Oct in Diffa?
Sharad Purnima is on Sat 15 Oct: Purnima holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Chaturdashi; Purnima begins at 08:55 Sat.
Purnima holds all of nishitha, 23:30–00:19 Sun. Purnima: 08:55 to 05:23 Sun.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+1). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Sharad Purnima’s night centres on nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Purnima runs from 08:55 on Sat 15 Oct to 05:23 on Sun 16 Oct, so only Saturday night’s nishitha (23:30–00:19 Sun) falls within it. No text giving Sharad Purnima’s time was found; nishitha is Tithika’s convention.
