Dussehra Aparahna puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Dussehra on Tue 11 Oct in Thazhecode?
Dussehra is on Tue 11 Oct: Dashami holds all of aparahna that day, and no other.
Aparahna is Navami; Dashami begins at 22:53.
Dashami holds all of aparahna, 13:24–15:47. Dashami: 22:53 Mon to 22:28.
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 22:53 on Mon 10 Oct to 22:28 on Tue 11 Oct, so only Tuesday’s aparahna (13:24–15:47) 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.
