Why is Karwa Chauth on Tue 18 Oct in Bothell?

Karwa Chauth is on Tue 18 Oct: Chaturthi holds moonrise that night.

Chaturthi at moonrise, 20:29. Chaturthi: 10:17 to 07:02 Wed.

Chaturthi ended at 07:02; moonrise at 21:20 is Panchami.

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 10:17 on Tue 18 Oct to 07:02 on Wed 19 Oct, so it holds moonrise only on Tue 18 Oct, at 20:29.

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.
