Why is Dussehra on Tue 20 Oct in Orting?
Dussehra is on Tue 20 Oct: Dashami holds all of aparahna that day, and no other.
Aparahna is Navami; Dashami begins at 00:20 Tue.
Dashami holds all of aparahna, 13:56–16:04. Dashami: 00:20 to 01:42 Wed.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−7). 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 00:20 on Tue 20 Oct to 01:42 on Wed 21 Oct, so only Tuesday’s aparahna (13:56–16:04) 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.
