Why is Chhath on Sat 5 Nov in Mapleton?
Chhath · Sandhya Arghya is on Sat 5 Nov: Shashthi holds sunset that evening.
Sunset at 18:19 is Panchami; Shashthi begins at 23:17.
Shashthi at sunset, 18:18. Shashthi: 23:17 Fri to 00:46 Sun.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−6). Band: the tithi. Line: Sunset. Light strip: day; dark strip: night.
The evening arghya is offered at sunset. Shashthi runs from 23:17 on Fri 4 Nov to 00:46 on Sun 6 Nov, so it holds sunset only on Sat 5 Nov, at 18:18. No text giving Chhath · Sandhya Arghya’s time was found; sunset is Tithika’s convention.
