Why is Chhath on Sun 18 Nov in Diffa?
Chhath · Sandhya Arghya is on Sun 18 Nov: Shashthi holds sunset that evening.
Shashthi at sunset, 17:39. Shashthi: 06:54 to 05:01 Mon.
Shashthi ended at 05:01; sunset at 17:39 is Saptami.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+1). Band: the tithi. Line: Sunset. Light strip: day; dark strip: night.
The evening arghya is offered at sunset. Shashthi runs from 06:54 on Sun 18 Nov to 05:01 on Mon 19 Nov, so it holds sunset only on Sun 18 Nov, at 17:39. No text giving Chhath · Sandhya Arghya’s time was found; sunset is Tithika’s convention.
