Why is Chhath on Mon 31 Oct in Mapleton?
Chhath · Sandhya Arghya is on Mon 31 Oct: Shashthi holds sunset that evening.
Sunset at 18:26 is Panchami; Shashthi begins at 23:33.
Shashthi at sunset, 18:25. Shashthi: 23:33 Sun to 22:36.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−6). Band: the tithi. Line: Sunset. Light strip: day; dark strip: night.
The evening arghya is offered at sunset. Shashthi runs from 23:33 on Sun 30 Oct to 22:36 on Mon 31 Oct, so it holds sunset only on Mon 31 Oct, at 18:25. No text giving Chhath · Sandhya Arghya’s time was found; sunset is Tithika’s convention.
