When is Rath Yatra 2028 in Diffa?
Rath Yatra Sunrise: what time?
Why is Rath Yatra on Sat 24 Jun in Diffa?
Rath Yatra is on Sat 24 Jun: Dwitiya holds sunrise that day.
Sunrise at 05:44 is Pratipada; Dwitiya begins at 17:22.
Dwitiya at sunrise, 05:44. Dwitiya: 17:22 Fri to 14:59.
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 17:22 on Fri 23 Jun to 14:59 on Sat 24 Jun, so it holds sunrise only on Sat 24 Jun, at 05:44. No text giving Rath Yatra’s time was found; sunrise is Tithika’s convention.
The rule
Ashadha Shukla Dwitiya
Rath Yatra follows the tithi at sunrise.
- Smarta
- the day Dwitiya holds at sunrise: Tithika’s convention, since no text gives the time.
- Vaishnava
- the Smarta day.
