Why is Karwa Chauth on Wed 9 Oct in Diffa?

Karwa Chauth is on Wed 9 Oct: Chaturthi holds moonrise that night.

Chaturthi at moonrise, 19:55. Chaturthi: 17:32 to 19:51 Thu.

Chaturthi ended at 19:51; moonrise at 20:38 is Panchami. Chaturthi: 17:32 Wed to 19:51.

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

The Karwa Chauth fast is broken at moonrise. Chaturthi runs from 17:32 on Wed 9 Oct to 19:51 on Thu 10 Oct, so it holds moonrise only on Wed 9 Oct, at 19:55.

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.
