Why is Karwa Chauth on Mon 8 Oct in Diffa?

Karwa Chauth is on Mon 8 Oct: Chaturthi holds moonrise that night.

Chaturthi at moonrise, 20:27. Chaturthi: 11:56 to 10:10 Tue.

Chaturthi ended at 10:10; moonrise at 21:18 is Panchami.

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 11:56 on Mon 8 Oct to 10:10 on Tue 9 Oct, so it holds moonrise only on Mon 8 Oct, at 20:27.

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.
