Why is Chhath on Mon 26 Oct in Libode?
Chhath · Sandhya Arghya is on Mon 26 Oct: Shashthi holds sunset that evening.
Sunset at 18:22 is Panchami; Shashthi begins at 23:31.
Shashthi at sunset, 18:23. Shashthi: 23:31 Sun to 00:53 Tue.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+2). Band: the tithi. Line: Sunset. Light strip: day; dark strip: night.
The evening arghya is offered at sunset. Shashthi runs from 23:31 on Sun 25 Oct to 00:53 on Tue 27 Oct, so it holds sunset only on Mon 26 Oct, at 18:23. No text giving Chhath · Sandhya Arghya’s time was found; sunset is Tithika’s convention.
