Why is Dussehra on Wed 24 Oct in Chahārbāgh?
Dussehra is on Wed 24 Oct: Dashami holds all of aparahna that day, and no other.
Aparahna is Navami; Dashami begins at 17:38. Dashami: 17:38 to 17:22 Wed.
Dashami holds all of aparahna, 12:56–15:08. Dashami: 17:38 Tue to 17:22.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+3:30). 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 17:38 on Tue 23 Oct to 17:22 on Wed 24 Oct, so only Wednesday’s aparahna (12:56–15:08) falls within it.
The rule

- Smarta

- Vaishnava
- the Smarta day.
