Masik Durgashtami dates, 2028

Masik Durgashtami is the Ashtami (eighth tithi) of the Shukla fortnight each month, dedicated to Durga. The best known is Maha Ashtami during Sharad Navaratri.

It is kept with fasting, recitation such as the Devi Mahatmya, and worship of the Goddess. For many practitioners it is a natural monthly point for longer mantra practice.

How the date is decided here: the local day on which the Shukla Ashtami tithi is in force at sunrise.
