Why is Chhath on Sat 15 Nov in Diffa?
Chhath · Sandhya Arghya is on Sat 15 Nov: Shashthi touches sunset on neither evening, and the earlier day is taken.
Sunset at 16:39 is Panchami; Shashthi begins at 17:06. Shashthi: 17:06 to 16:25 Sun.
Shashthi ended at 16:25; sunset at 16:39 is Saptami. Shashthi: 17:06 Sat to 16:25.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+1). Band: the tithi. Line: Sunset. Light strip: day; dark strip: night.
The evening arghya is offered at sunset. Shashthi runs from 17:06 on Sat 15 Nov to 16:25 on Sun 16 Nov, between the two evenings’ sunset, touching neither. The Nirnayasindhu then takes the earlier day: Sat 15 Nov. No text giving Chhath · Sandhya Arghya’s time was found; sunset is Tithika’s convention.
