Why is Karwa Chauth on Thu 24 Oct in Maclear?

Karwa Chauth is on Thu 24 Oct: Chaturthi holds moonrise that night.

Chaturthi at moonrise, 21:22. Chaturthi: 16:11 to 17:53 Fri.

Chaturthi ended at 17:53; moonrise at 22:20 is Panchami.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC+2). Band: the tithi. Line: Moonrise. Dark strip: night.

The Karwa Chauth fast is broken at moonrise. Chaturthi runs from 16:11 on Thu 24 Oct to 17:53 on Fri 25 Oct, so it holds moonrise only on Thu 24 Oct, at 21:22.

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.
