Katha, puja vidhi and fasting rules

The same for every city, on the Karwa Chauth 2005 page:

Why is Karwa Chauth on Thu 20 Oct in Diffa?

Karwa Chauth is on Thu 20 Oct: Chaturthi holds moonrise that night.

Chaturthi at moonrise, 20:12. Chaturthi: 09:14 to 09:11 Fri.

Chaturthi ended at 09:11; moonrise at 21:05 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 09:14 on Thu 20 Oct to 09:11 on Fri 21 Oct, so it holds moonrise only on Thu 20 Oct, at 20:12.

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.
