Is Dussehra on October 20 or 21?

Dussehra will be celebrated on Tuesday, October 20, 2026, across most of India, according to Drik Panchang. However, Bengal Vijayadashami falls on Wednesday, October 21. The confusion arises because Dashami Tithi begins at 12:50 pm on October 20 and ends at 2:11 pm on October 21.
