Dwitiya at sunrise, 05:48. Dwitiya: 10:05 Tue to 08:46.
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 10:05 on Tue 5 Jul to 08:46 on Wed 6 Jul, so it holds sunrise only on Wed 6 Jul, at 05:48. No text giving Rath Yatra’s time was found; sunrise is Tithika’s convention.
