Tarpan and shraddha for the ancestors are performed in Aparahna, the fourth fifth of the daylight hours — 1:10 PM to 3:20 PM on this date, derived from its own sunrise of 6:40 AM and sunset of 5:30 PM rather than a fixed clock time. The tithi ends at 9 Nov, 12:32 PM, which is the instant the Moon and Sun share a longitude.

Diwali / Lakshmi Puja is on a different date

The vrat day above is the one this tithi governs at sunrise. Diwali / Lakshmi Puja follows the dusk rule instead — it is performed when the tithi prevails at pradosh, which this month is 8 November 2026. The two are a day apart and both are correct; they simply answer different questions.

Kartik Amavasya runs 25.1 hours, against a range of 20.1 to 26.7 hours across the twelve months around it — shortest on 15 June 2026, longest on 7 January 2027.
