Why is Karwa Chauth on Wed 7 Oct in Diffa?

Karwa Chauth is on Wed 7 Oct: Chaturthi holds moonrise that night.

Moonrise at 19:29 is Tritiya; Chaturthi begins at 05:16 Wed.

Chaturthi at moonrise, 20:21. Chaturthi: 05:16 to 03:58 Thu.

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 05:16 on Wed 7 Oct to 03:58 on Thu 8 Oct, so it holds moonrise only on Wed 7 Oct, at 20:21.

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.
