Why is Chhath on Wed 29 Oct in Itapiúna?
Chhath · Sandhya Arghya is on Wed 29 Oct: Shashthi touches sunset on neither evening, and the earlier day is taken.
Sunset at 17:27 is Panchami; Shashthi begins at 17:36. Shashthi: 17:36 to 15:28 Thu.
Shashthi ended at 15:28; sunset at 17:27 is Saptami. Shashthi: 17:36 Wed to 15:28.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−3). Band: the tithi. Line: Sunset. Light strip: day; dark strip: night.
The evening arghya is offered at sunset. Shashthi runs from 17:36 on Wed 29 Oct to 15:28 on Thu 30 Oct, between the two evenings’ sunset, touching neither. The Nirnayasindhu then takes the earlier day: Wed 29 Oct. No text giving Chhath · Sandhya Arghya’s time was found; sunset is Tithika’s convention.
