Why is Karwa Chauth on Sat 15 Oct in Bothell?

Karwa Chauth is on Sat 15 Oct: Chaturthi holds moonrise that night.

Moonrise at 19:23 is Tritiya; Chaturthi begins at 02:35 Sat.

Chaturthi at moonrise, 20:02. Chaturthi: 02:35 to 04:47 Sun.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC−7). Band: the tithi. Line: Moonrise. Light strip: day; dark strip: night.

The Karwa Chauth fast is broken at moonrise. Chaturthi runs from 02:35 on Sat 15 Oct to 04:47 on Sun 16 Oct, so it holds moonrise only on Sat 15 Oct, at 20:02.

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.
