Why is Karwa Chauth on Mon 16 Oct in Bothell?

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

Moonrise at 20:03 is Tritiya; Chaturthi begins at 21:48. Chaturthi: 21:48 to 19:57 Mon.

Chaturthi ended at 19:57; moonrise at 20:40 is Panchami. Chaturthi: 21:48 Sun to 19:57.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC−7). Band: the tithi. Line: Moonrise. Dark strip: night.

The Karwa Chauth fast is broken at moonrise. Chaturthi runs from 21:48 on Sun 15 Oct to 19:57 on Mon 16 Oct, between the two nights’ moonrise, touching neither. The Dharmasindhu then takes the later day: Mon 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.
