Katha, puja vidhi and fasting rules

The same for every city, on the Karwa Chauth 2011 page:

Why is Karwa Chauth on Sat 15 Oct in Diffa?

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

Chaturthi at moonrise, 20:13. Chaturthi: 10:35 to 12:47 Sun.

Chaturthi ended at 12:47; moonrise at 21:01 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 10:35 on Sat 15 Oct to 12:47 on Sun 16 Oct, so it holds moonrise only on Sat 15 Oct, at 20:13.

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.
