Why is Chhath on Thu 30 Oct in Devon?
Chhath · Sandhya Arghya is on Thu 30 Oct: Shashthi holds sunset that evening.
Sunset at 18:19 is Panchami; Shashthi begins at 22:36.
Shashthi at sunset, 18:20. Shashthi: 22:36 Wed to 20:28.
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 22:36 on Wed 29 Oct to 20:28 on Thu 30 Oct, so it holds sunset only on Thu 30 Oct, at 18:20. No text giving Chhath · Sandhya Arghya’s time was found; sunset is Tithika’s convention.
