Katha, puja vidhi and fasting rules

The same for every city, on the Karwa Chauth 2004 page:

Why is Karwa Chauth on Sun 31 Oct in Diffa?

Karwa Chauth is on Sun 31 Oct: Chaturthi holds moonrise that night.

Chaturthi at moonrise, 20:16. Chaturthi: 08:13 to 10:26 Mon.

Chaturthi ended at 10:26; moonrise at 21:07 is Panchami.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC+1). Band: the tithi. Line: Moonrise. Dark strip: night.

The Karwa Chauth fast is broken at moonrise. Chaturthi runs from 08:13 on Sun 31 Oct to 10:26 on Mon 1 Nov, so it holds moonrise only on Sun 31 Oct, at 20:16.

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.
