Why is Dussehra on Sat 11 Oct in Pāthardi?
Dussehra is on Sat 11 Oct: Dashami holds all of aparahna that day, and no other.
Aparahna is Navami; Dashami begins at 03:40 Sat.
Dashami holds all of aparahna, 13:26–15:48. Dashami: 03:40 to 01:29 Sun.
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 03:40 on Sat 11 Oct to 01:29 on Sun 12 Oct, so only Saturday’s aparahna (13:26–15:48) falls within it.
The rule
Ashwina Shukla Dashami
Dussehra’s rites are done in aparahna, the fourth fifth of the day.
- Smarta
- the day whose aparahna Dashami holds; when it touches both, Shravana in the later aparahna takes it there, else the earlier (Nirnayasindhu).
- Vaishnava
- the Smarta day.
