Why is Dussehra on Tue 20 Oct in Diffa?
Dussehra is on Tue 20 Oct: Dashami holds all of aparahna that day, and no other.
Dashami holds all of aparahna, 13:05–15:26. Dashami: 08:20 to 09:42 Wed.
Dashami ended at 09:42; aparahna is Ekadashi.
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 08:20 on Tue 20 Oct to 09:42 on Wed 21 Oct, so only Tuesday’s aparahna (13:05–15:26) 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.
