Depending on the beginning time of Navami Tithi on the previous day, Maha Navami Puja and Upavas might be performed on Ashtami Tithi. There is specific rule which says that if Ashtami and Navami merge before Sanyakal on Ashtami Tithi, then Ashtami Puja, Navami Puja as well as Sandhi Puja should be done on the same day.
