Why is Chhath on Mon 7 Nov in Maclear?
Chhath · Sandhya Arghya is on Mon 7 Nov: Shashthi holds sunset that evening.
Sunset at 18:34 is Panchami; Shashthi begins at 21:04.
Shashthi at sunset, 18:35. Shashthi: 21:04 Sun to 19:05.
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 21:04 on Sun 6 Nov to 19:05 on Mon 7 Nov, so it holds sunset only on Mon 7 Nov, at 18:35. No text giving Chhath · Sandhya Arghya’s time was found; sunset is Tithika’s convention.
