Why is Karwa Chauth on Mon 13 Oct in Sofia?

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

Chaturthi at moonrise, 20:20. Chaturthi: 17:14 to 19:56 Tue.

Chaturthi ended at 19:56; moonrise at 20:50 is Panchami. Chaturthi: 17:14 Mon to 19:56.

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 17:14 on Mon 13 Oct to 19:56 on Tue 14 Oct, so it holds moonrise only on Mon 13 Oct, at 20:20.

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.
