Why is Karwa Chauth on Mon 13 Oct in Bothell?

Karwa Chauth is on Mon 13 Oct: Chaturthi holds moonrise that night.

Chaturthi at moonrise, 19:55. Chaturthi: 07:14 to 09:56 Tue.

Chaturthi ended at 09:56; moonrise at 20:25 is Panchami.

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

The Karwa Chauth fast is broken at moonrise. Chaturthi runs from 07:14 on Mon 13 Oct to 09:56 on Tue 14 Oct, so it holds moonrise only on Mon 13 Oct, at 19:55.

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.
