Why is Chhath on Fri 8 Nov in Diffa?
Chhath · Sandhya Arghya is on Fri 8 Nov: Shashthi holds sunset that evening.
Sunset at 17:40 is Panchami; Shashthi begins at 00:42 Fri.
Shashthi at sunset, 17:40. Shashthi: 00:42 to 22:11.
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 00:42 on Fri 8 Nov to 22:11 on Fri 8 Nov, so it holds sunset only on Fri 8 Nov, at 17:40. No text giving Chhath · Sandhya Arghya’s time was found; sunset is Tithika’s convention.
