Questions people ask

When is Durga Ashtami in 2027?

Durga Ashtami 2027 is on Thursday, 7 October 2027 in Delhi. Shukla Ashtami is in force at sunrise on two days; the first is kept.

Why do some calendars give a different date for Durga Ashtami?

Because Durga Ashtami is set by a tithi, and a tithi begins and ends at any hour, so it usually touches two days. Each observance names the part of the day its tithi must hold, and when the tithi holds that part of two days, or of neither, a classical rule decides. Calendars that count the month from the full moon, or follow the Vaishnava reckoning, can keep it a day apart. The dates here follow the rules DrikPanchang follows, and each one says which rule applied.

Is Durga Ashtami on the same day in every city?

Usually, but not always. Sunrise, sunset and moonrise differ from place to place, so a tithi that changes near one of those moments can fall on different days in different cities. The dates here are for Delhi; choose another city above to see its dates.
