Why is Karwa Chauth on Mon 9 Oct in Diffa?

Karwa Chauth is on Mon 9 Oct: Chaturthi holds moonrise that night.

Chaturthi at moonrise, 19:53. Chaturthi: 18:13 to 15:49 Tue.

Chaturthi ended at 15:49; moonrise at 20:47 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 18:13 on Mon 9 Oct to 15:49 on Tue 10 Oct, so it holds moonrise only on Mon 9 Oct, at 19:53.

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.
