Why is Rath Yatra on Fri 12 Jul in Diffa?
Rath Yatra is on Fri 12 Jul: Dwitiya holds sunrise that day.

Dwitiya at sunrise, 05:49. Dwitiya: 09:38 Thu to 07:27.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+1). Band: the tithi. Line: Sunrise. Light strip: day; dark strip: night.
Rath Yatra follows the tithi at sunrise. Dwitiya runs from 09:38 on Thu 11 Jul to 07:27 on Fri 12 Jul, so it holds sunrise only on Fri 12 Jul, at 05:49. No text giving Rath Yatra’s time was found; sunrise is Tithika’s convention.
