The day is chosen by the moment the tradition reads its tithi at, and the times are that day's own, computed for this city. A festival-specific puja window is not printed: those rules differ by tradition and await a scholar's review.

What the day is

Four days for Surya and Chhathi Maithili — offered standing in water, to the **setting** sun before the rising one. The tradition's most demanding vrata and its most beautiful: thanks given to the light that is leaving before the light that is coming.

One act for the day

Give thanks to something that is leaving before you greet what is arriving — a job ending, a season, a person moving away. Stand in water at sunset if you can reach any.
