Why is Rath Yatra on Thu 21 Jun in Diffa?
Rath Yatra is on Thu 21 Jun: Dwitiya holds sunrise that day.

Dwitiya ended at 18:44 Thu; sunrise at 05:44 is Tritiya.
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 17:36 on Wed 20 Jun to 18:44 on Thu 21 Jun, so it holds sunrise only on Thu 21 Jun, at 05:44. No text giving Rath Yatra’s time was found; sunrise is Tithika’s convention.
