Why is Karwa Chauth on Tue 22 Oct in Diffa?

Karwa Chauth is on Tue 22 Oct: Chaturthi holds moonrise that night.

Moonrise at 19:49 is Tritiya; Chaturthi begins at 02:36 Tue.

Chaturthi at moonrise, 20:37. Chaturthi: 02:36 to 04:21 Wed.

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 02:36 on Tue 22 Oct to 04:21 on Wed 23 Oct, so it holds moonrise only on Tue 22 Oct, at 20:37.

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.
