Why is Karwa Chauth on Wed 25 Oct in Diffa?

Karwa Chauth is on Wed 25 Oct: Chaturthi holds moonrise that night.

Moonrise at 19:32 is Tritiya; Chaturthi begins at 03:27 Wed.

Chaturthi at moonrise, 20:35. Chaturthi: 03:27 to 00:17 Thu.

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 03:27 on Wed 25 Oct to 00:17 on Thu 26 Oct, so it holds moonrise only on Wed 25 Oct, at 20:35.

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.
