Why is Dussehra on Sun 14 Oct in Pāthardi?
Dussehra is on Sun 14 Oct: Dashami holds all of aparahna that day, and no other.
Aparahna is Navami; Dashami begins at 15:57. Dashami: 15:57 to 18:17 Sun.
Dashami holds all of aparahna, 13:25–15:46. Dashami: 15:57 Sat to 18:17.
One row per day, on one clock (IST). Band: the tithi. Box: Aparahna. Light strip: day; dark strip: night.
Dussehra’s rites are done in aparahna, the fourth fifth of the day. Dashami runs from 15:57 on Sat 13 Oct to 18:17 on Sun 14 Oct, so only Sunday’s aparahna (13:25–15:46) falls within it.
