Why is Chhath on Sun 15 Nov in Melbourne?
Chhath · Sandhya Arghya is on Sun 15 Nov: Shashthi holds sunset that evening.
Sunset at 20:08 is Panchami; Shashthi begins at 04:54 Sun.
Shashthi at sunset, 20:09. Shashthi: 04:54 to 07:31 Mon.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+11). Band: the tithi. Line: Sunset. Light strip: day; dark strip: night.
The evening arghya is offered at sunset. Shashthi runs from 04:54 on Sun 15 Nov to 07:31 on Mon 16 Nov, so it holds sunset only on Sun 15 Nov, at 20:09. No text giving Chhath · Sandhya Arghya’s time was found; sunset is Tithika’s convention.
