Dussehra Aparahna puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Dussehra on Thu 14 Oct in Diffa?
By the Nirnayasindhu, Dussehra is on Thu 14 Oct: Dashami touches aparahna on both days and it takes the earlier.
Navami until 14:22, inside aparahna; then Dashami. Dashami: 14:22 to 13:32 Fri.
Dashami holds aparahna only until 13:32; then Ekadashi. Dashami: 14:22 Thu to 13:32.
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 14:22 on Thu 14 Oct to 13:32 on Fri 15 Oct, touching aparahna on both days. When it does, the Nirnayasindhu takes the earlier day: Thu 14 Oct.
