Why is Karwa Chauth on Fri 16 Oct in Olean?

Karwa Chauth is on Fri 16 Oct: Chaturthi touches moonrise on neither night, and the later day is taken.

Moonrise at 20:23 is Tritiya; Chaturthi begins at 22:29. Chaturthi: 22:29 to 19:18 Fri.

Chaturthi ended at 19:18; moonrise at 21:07 is Panchami. Chaturthi: 22:29 Thu to 19:18.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC−4). Band: the tithi. Line: Moonrise. Dark strip: night.

The Karwa Chauth fast is broken at moonrise. Chaturthi runs from 22:29 on Thu 15 Oct to 19:18 on Fri 16 Oct, between the two nights’ moonrise, touching neither. The Dharmasindhu then takes the later day: Fri 16 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.
