Dispute over the darkest night

Oct 23, 2015 Letters

Dear Editor,
In response to Pandit Deodatt M. Tillack’s letter “Deepavali should be on November 11” (K.N 22/10). I wish to inform the “Learned” Pandit that the time of 13:47pm as given by the coordinated universal time (UTC) represents the ending time of the new moon. The dark forthnight ends at 13:47 pm on the 11th. How then can the night of the 11th which is after 13:47pm be the darkest night of the year? It follows that the previous night on the 10th is in fact the darkest night.
Pt. R. Balbadar
