Windows are computed for this city — the tithi decides which are valid, so they shift with your location and are not the Indian times. Abhijit and Rahu Kaal belong to the day itself rather than to the festival.
Dussehra — Vijayadashami — marks Rama’s victory over Ravana and Durga’s over Mahishasura, on the tenth day of the waxing moon in Ashwin. Its date is set by the *aparahna*, the afternoon window, since that is when the victory is commemorated.
Effigies of Ravana are burnt at dusk across north India, closing a fortnight of Ramlila performances. The day is considered auspicious for any beginning, needing no separate muhurat.
