Why is Karwa Chauth on Mon 16 Oct in Sofia?

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

Moonrise at 20:19 is Tritiya; Chaturthi begins at 07:48 Mon.

Chaturthi at moonrise, 20:57. Chaturthi: 07:48 to 05:57 Tue.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC+3). Band: the tithi. Line: Moonrise. Dark strip: night.

The Karwa Chauth fast is broken at moonrise. Chaturthi runs from 07:48 on Mon 16 Oct to 05:57 on Tue 17 Oct, so it holds moonrise only on Mon 16 Oct, at 20:57.

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.
