Why is Chhath on Sat 5 Nov in Cuenca?
Chhath · Sandhya Arghya is on Sat 5 Nov: Shashthi holds sunset that evening.
Sunset at 18:06 is Panchami; Shashthi begins at 00:17 Sat.
Shashthi at sunset, 18:06. Shashthi: 00:17 to 01:46 Sun.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−5). Band: the tithi. Line: Sunset. Light strip: day; dark strip: night.
The evening arghya is offered at sunset. Shashthi runs from 00:17 on Sat 5 Nov to 01:46 on Sun 6 Nov, so it holds sunset only on Sat 5 Nov, at 18:06. No text giving Chhath · Sandhya Arghya’s time was found; sunset is Tithika’s convention.
