Why is Chhath on Sun 18 Nov in Assiut?
Chhath · Sandhya Arghya is on Sun 18 Nov: Shashthi holds sunset that evening.
Shashthi at sunset, 17:02. Shashthi: 07:54 to 06:01 Mon.
Shashthi ended at 06:01; sunset at 17:02 is Saptami.
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 07:54 on Sun 18 Nov to 06:01 on Mon 19 Nov, so it holds sunset only on Sun 18 Nov, at 17:02. No text giving Chhath · Sandhya Arghya’s time was found; sunset is Tithika’s convention.
