Why is Karwa Chauth on Fri 2 Nov in Bothell?

Karwa Chauth is on Fri 2 Nov: Chaturthi holds moonrise that night.

Moonrise at 19:41 is Tritiya; Chaturthi begins at 20:29. Chaturthi: 20:29 to 23:09 Fri.

Chaturthi at moonrise, 20:31. Chaturthi: 20:29 Thu to 23:09.

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

The Karwa Chauth fast is broken at moonrise. Chaturthi runs from 20:29 on Thu 1 Nov to 23:09 on Fri 2 Nov, so it holds moonrise only on Fri 2 Nov, at 20:31.

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.
