Why is Karwa Chauth on Sun 31 Oct in Sofia?

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

Chaturthi at moonrise, 19:06. Chaturthi: 09:13 to 11:26 Mon.

Chaturthi ended at 11:26; moonrise at 19:51 is Panchami.

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

The Karwa Chauth fast is broken at moonrise. Chaturthi runs from 09:13 on Sun 31 Oct to 11:26 on Mon 1 Nov, so it holds moonrise only on Sun 31 Oct, at 19:06.

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.
