Why is Chhath on Mon 29 Oct in Maclear?
Chhath · Sandhya Arghya is on Mon 29 Oct: Shashthi holds sunset that evening.
Sunset at 17:56 is Panchami; Shashthi begins at 22:42.
Shashthi at sunset, 17:57. Shashthi: 22:42 Sun to 22:49.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+1:30). Band: the tithi. Line: Sunset. Light strip: day; dark strip: night.
The evening arghya is offered at sunset. Shashthi runs from 22:42 on Sun 28 Oct to 22:49 on Mon 29 Oct, so it holds sunset only on Mon 29 Oct, at 17:57. No text giving Chhath · Sandhya Arghya’s time was found; sunset is Tithika’s convention.
