Why is Karwa Chauth on Tue 18 Oct in Maclear?

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

Chaturthi at moonrise, 21:02. Chaturthi: 19:17 to 16:02 Wed.

Chaturthi ended at 16:02; moonrise at 22:08 is Panchami.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC+2). Band: the tithi. Line: Moonrise. Dark strip: night.

The Karwa Chauth fast is broken at moonrise. Chaturthi runs from 19:17 on Tue 18 Oct to 16:02 on Wed 19 Oct, so it holds moonrise only on Tue 18 Oct, at 21:02.

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.
