Dussehra Aparahna puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Dussehra on Thu 18 Oct in Diffa?
By the Nirnayasindhu, Dussehra is on Thu 18 Oct: Dashami touches aparahna on both days and it takes the earlier.
Dashami holds all of aparahna, 13:05–15:27. Dashami: 10:59 to 13:27 Fri.
Dashami holds aparahna only until 13:27; then Ekadashi. Dashami: 10:59 Thu to 13:27.
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 10:59 on Thu 18 Oct to 13:27 on Fri 19 Oct, touching aparahna on both days. When it does, the Nirnayasindhu takes the earlier day: Thu 18 Oct.
