Why is Karwa Chauth on Mon 20 Oct in Diffa?

Karwa Chauth is on Mon 20 Oct: Chaturthi touches moonrise on neither night, and the later day is taken.

Moonrise at 19:04 is Tritiya; Chaturthi begins at 22:25. Chaturthi: 22:25 to 19:37 Mon.

Chaturthi ended at 19:37; moonrise at 20:02 is Panchami. Chaturthi: 22:25 Sun to 19:37.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC). Band: the tithi. Line: Moonrise. Dark strip: night.

The Karwa Chauth fast is broken at moonrise. Chaturthi runs from 22:25 on Sun 19 Oct to 19:37 on Mon 20 Oct, between the two nights’ moonrise, touching neither. The Dharmasindhu then takes the later day: Mon 20 Oct.

The rule

Kartika Krishna Chaturthi (purnimanta) · Ashwina Krishna Chaturthi (amanta)

The Karwa Chauth fast is broken at moonrise.

Smarta: the night whose moonrise Chaturthi holds; when it touches both, the earlier; when neither, the later (Dharmasindhu).
Vaishnava: the Smarta day.
