Guest guest Posted November 2, 2004 Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 Namaste Ardis, Nov. 2 is the 6th day of the dark fortnight. According to the panchang Wed. Nov. 3 and Thurs. Nov. 4 are both counted as the same day. (This will be the 7th day of the moon in the dark fortnight.) The 9th day will end on Thursday Nov. 11 which is also the 14th and new moon. (Kali puja.) Nov. 12. Friday is pratipad, the first day of the moon in the bright fortnight, also called Diwali. Hope this clarifies.

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2004 Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 Thank you. Now I understand. It would help if I had a panchang. Namaste Ardis, Nov. 2 is the 6th day of the dark fortnight. According to the panchang Wed. Nov. 3 and Thurs. Nov. 4 are both counted as the same day. (This will be the 7th day of the moon in the dark fortnight.) The 9th day will end on Thursday Nov. 11 which is also the 14th and new moon. (Kali puja.) Nov. 12. Friday is pratipad, the first day of the moon in the bright fortnight, also called Diwali. Hope this clarifies. Parvati , Ardis Jackson <anandamama@e...> wrote: > > Namaste, > > > > If we start on November 2 and count it as #1, wouldn1t November 10 be #9?
