Ahoi Ashtami is Kartik Krishna Ashtami, the Ashtami of the krishna paksha of Kartik. It is kept after sunset (pradosh), so the date is the day that tithi is running at the hour and a half after sunset. A tithi begins and ends at a real minute, not at midnight, which is why the moment decides the day, and why the same festival can fall on a different date in another country.

For New Delhi, in IST.

Why is Ahoi Ashtami on a different day in the US or UK?

A festival’s tithi begins and ends at the same instant all over the world, but the day that holds it at sunrise, at sunset or at midnight depends on where you are. So Diwali or Janmashtami can fall a day earlier in America than in India. Pick your city in the box at the top and every date and time is worked out for it.

A festival is the same day for everybody. Your chart is not.
