Why is Karwa Chauth on Mon 13 Oct in Thazhecode?

By the Dharmasindhu, Karwa Chauth is on Mon 13 Oct: Chaturthi touches moonrise on both nights and it takes the earlier.

Chaturthi at moonrise, 20:17. Chaturthi: 19:44 to 22:26 Tue.

Chaturthi at moonrise, 21:00. Chaturthi: 19:44 Mon to 22:26.

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

The Karwa Chauth fast is broken at moonrise. Chaturthi runs from 19:44 on Mon 13 Oct to 22:26 on Tue 14 Oct, touching moonrise on both nights. When it does, the Dharmasindhu takes the earlier day: Mon 13 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.
