Dussehra Aparahna puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Dussehra on Tue 23 Oct in Diffa?
By the Nirnayasindhu, Dussehra is on Tue 23 Oct: Dashami touches aparahna on both days and it takes the earlier.
Navami until 15:08, inside aparahna; then Dashami. Dashami: 15:08 to 14:52 Wed.
Dashami holds aparahna only until 14:52; then Ekadashi. Dashami: 15:08 Tue to 14:52.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+1). 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 15:08 on Tue 23 Oct to 14:52 on Wed 24 Oct, touching aparahna on both days. When it does, the Nirnayasindhu takes the earlier day: Tue 23 Oct.
