Why this date?· तिथि निर्णय
Hindu date: Ashwin Shukla Ashtami.
It is kept on the day that tithi is current at sunrise.
Dates are calculated for New Delhi. In other cities, and especially outside India, the tithi changes at a different local time, so a festival can fall a day earlier or later. Month names follow the Purnimanta calendar used in North India, where a month ends on Purnima. How we calculate

In Bengal the Sandhi Puja is performed in the 48 minutes where Ashtami ends and Navami begins, the moment the Goddess is said to have appeared as Chamunda to slay Chanda and Munda.
