Why is Chhath on Sat 9 Nov in Highfields?
Chhath · Sandhya Arghya is on Sat 9 Nov: Shashthi touches sunset on neither evening, and the earlier day is taken.
Sunset at 18:16 is Panchami; Shashthi begins at 18:21. Shashthi: 18:21 to 17:58 Sun.
Shashthi ended at 17:58; sunset at 18:16 is Saptami. Shashthi: 18:21 Sat to 17:58.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+10). Band: the tithi. Line: Sunset. Light strip: day; dark strip: night.
The evening arghya is offered at sunset. Shashthi runs from 18:21 on Sat 9 Nov to 17:58 on Sun 10 Nov, between the two evenings’ sunset, touching neither. The Nirnayasindhu then takes the earlier day: Sat 9 Nov. No text giving Chhath · Sandhya Arghya’s time was found; sunset is Tithika’s convention.
