Why is Rath Yatra on Sun 25 Jun in Diffa?
Rath Yatra is on Sun 25 Jun: Dwitiya holds sunrise that day.
Dwitiya at sunrise, 05:45. Dwitiya: 23:51 Sat to 20:31.
Dwitiya ended at 20:31 Sun; sunrise at 05:45 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 23:51 on Sat 24 Jun to 20:31 on Sun 25 Jun, so it holds sunrise only on Sun 25 Jun, at 05:45. No text giving Rath Yatra’s time was found; sunrise is Tithika’s convention.

Rath Yatra follows the tithi at sunrise.
- Smarta
