Why is Chhath on Wed 24 Oct in Diffa?
Chhath · Sandhya Arghya is on Wed 24 Oct: Shashthi touches sunset on neither evening, and the earlier day is taken.
Sunset at 17:45 is Panchami; Shashthi begins at 19:54. Shashthi: 19:54 to 17:37 Thu.
Shashthi ended at 17:37; sunset at 17:45 is Saptami. Shashthi: 19:54 Wed to 17:37.
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 19:54 on Wed 24 Oct to 17:37 on Thu 25 Oct, between the two evenings’ sunset, touching neither. The Nirnayasindhu then takes the earlier day: Wed 24 Oct. No text giving Chhath · Sandhya Arghya’s time was found; sunset is Tithika’s convention.
