Why is Karwa Chauth on Fri 16 Oct in Pāthardi?

Karwa Chauth is on Fri 16 Oct: Chaturthi holds moonrise that night.

Moonrise at 19:54 is Tritiya; Chaturthi begins at 07:59 Fri.

Chaturthi at moonrise, 20:46. Chaturthi: 07:59 to 04:48 Sat.

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

The Karwa Chauth fast is broken at moonrise. Chaturthi runs from 07:59 on Fri 16 Oct to 04:48 on Sat 17 Oct, so it holds moonrise only on Fri 16 Oct, at 20:46.

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.
