Why is Karwa Chauth on Fri 30 Oct in Diffa?

Karwa Chauth is on Fri 30 Oct: Chaturthi holds moonrise that night.

Moonrise at 19:48 is Tritiya; Chaturthi begins at 03:54 Fri.

Chaturthi at moonrise, 20:44. Chaturthi: 03:54 to 01:55 Sat.

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 03:54 on Fri 30 Oct to 01:55 on Sat 31 Oct, so it holds moonrise only on Fri 30 Oct, at 20:44.

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.
