Why this date
Ashwina Krishna Trayodashi runs from 20 Oct 1976 20:49 to 21 Oct 1976 17:46 in Thāne, Maharashtra, India.
The festival is kept on the first day on which this tithi is running at pradosh (dusk). Here is that moment on the day before, the day itself and the day after:
- 20 Oct 1976 · pradosh (dusk) at 19:11: the tithi had not begun
- 21 Oct 1976 · pradosh (dusk) at 19:11: the tithi was already over
- 22 Oct 1976 · pradosh (dusk) at 19:10: the tithi was already over
This year the tithi was running at no pradosh (dusk), so the festival goes on the day it was running at sunrise.
Dates and times are for Thāne, Maharashtra, India. Another town can differ by a day when a tithi changes close to sunrise. You can change the place above.
