Why is Chhath on Fri 15 Nov in Diffa?
Chhath · Sandhya Arghya is on Fri 15 Nov: Shashthi touches sunset on neither evening, and the earlier day is taken.
Sunset at 17:39 is Panchami; Shashthi begins at 19:36. Shashthi: 19:36 to 17:20 Sat.
Shashthi ended at 17:20; sunset at 17:39 is Saptami. Shashthi: 19:36 Fri to 17:20.
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 19:36 on Fri 15 Nov to 17:20 on Sat 16 Nov, between the two evenings’ sunset, touching neither. The Nirnayasindhu then takes the earlier day: Fri 15 Nov. No text giving Chhath · Sandhya Arghya’s time was found; sunset is Tithika’s convention.
