Why is Chhath on Sun 18 Nov in Orting?
Chhath · Sandhya Arghya is on Sun 18 Nov: Shashthi holds sunset that evening.
Sunset at 16:31 is Panchami; Shashthi begins at 21:54.
Shashthi at sunset, 16:30. Shashthi: 21:54 Sat to 20:01.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−8). Band: the tithi. Line: Sunset. Light strip: day; dark strip: night.
The evening arghya is offered at sunset. Shashthi runs from 21:54 on Sat 17 Nov to 20:01 on Sun 18 Nov, so it holds sunset only on Sun 18 Nov, at 16:30. No text giving Chhath · Sandhya Arghya’s time was found; sunset is Tithika’s convention.
