Why is Chhath on Wed 11 Nov in Olean?
Chhath · Sandhya Arghya is on Wed 11 Nov: Shashthi touches sunset on neither evening, and the earlier day is taken.
Sunset at 16:56 is Panchami; Shashthi begins at 16:56. Shashthi: 16:56 to 16:29 Thu.
Shashthi ended at 16:29; sunset at 16:55 is Saptami. Shashthi: 16:56 Wed to 16:29.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−5). Band: the tithi. Line: Sunset. Light strip: day; dark strip: night.
The evening arghya is offered at sunset. Shashthi runs from 16:56 on Wed 11 Nov to 16:29 on Thu 12 Nov, between the two evenings’ sunset, touching neither. The Nirnayasindhu then takes the earlier day: Wed 11 Nov. No text giving Chhath · Sandhya Arghya’s time was found; sunset is Tithika’s convention.
