NOTE: The above chart is as per IST.
In US there is slight change this year. On 29 Th Prathamai thithi is only till 7.46 am ( PST) and on 30 th September it is thrithiyai from early morning before sunrise hence there is NO dwithiyai on 30 Th. Both prathamai and dwithiyai occur on 29 Th. Hence we have only 8 nights this year. Amavasya is on 28th Saturday till 11.46 am (PST). Vijaya dasami is on 7 Th October.
