It is also the last day of Ashwayuja Sukla Paksha before the Deepavali fortnight.

Every time is computed for the city's own coordinates and time zone (daylight saving applied); nothing is converted from IST. The last column is the part of the day the rule judges, pradosha (the first fifth of the night after sunset); the date is the day the tithi covers it. It is the window the tradition names for the observance, not a separately chosen muhurtham; we do not print other muhurthams because we have not verified them.
How the date is decided
Ashwayuja pournami prevailing in the evening (pradosha): Sharad Pournami is a night observance (moonlit kheer, Kojagari vigil). The pournami at sunrise (Ashwayuja Pournami in the pournami list) can be the next day.
The Ashwayuja Pournami day in the pournami list (pournami at sunrise) can be the day after this date. Some almanacs judge the Kojagari night by midnight (nishita) instead of the evening, which puts it one day earlier in a few cities.
Date by city
Different date in 39 of 215 cities: Vijayawada, Visakhapatnam, Chennai, Kolkata, Bhubaneswar, Srikakulam, Vizianagaram, Parvathipuram, Paderu, Anakapalli, Kakinada, Rajahmundry (Rajamahendravaram) and 27 more — the tithi is judged against each city's own sunrise and local time (daylight saving included), so the day can shift for cities far from India.
