Why is Karwa Chauth on Thu 20 Oct in Diffa?

Karwa Chauth is on Thu 20 Oct: Chaturthi holds moonrise that night.

Moonrise at 17:56 is Tritiya; Chaturthi begins at 21:58.

Chaturthi at moonrise, 18:48. Chaturthi: 21:58 Wed to 21:07.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC+1). Band: the tithi. Line: Moonrise. Dark strip: night.

The Karwa Chauth fast is broken at moonrise. Chaturthi runs from 21:58 on Wed 19 Oct to 21:07 on Thu 20 Oct, so it holds moonrise only on Thu 20 Oct, at 18:48.

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).
