Why is Karwa Chauth on Wed 19 Oct in Vapi?

Karwa Chauth is on Wed 19 Oct: Chaturthi touches moonrise on neither night, and the later day is taken.

Moonrise at 20:22 is Tritiya; Chaturthi begins at 22:47. Chaturthi: 22:47 to 19:32 Wed.

Chaturthi ended at 19:32; moonrise at 21:18 is Panchami. Chaturthi: 22:47 Tue to 19:32.

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

The Karwa Chauth fast is broken at moonrise. Chaturthi runs from 22:47 on Tue 18 Oct to 19:32 on Wed 19 Oct, between the two nights’ moonrise, touching neither. The Dharmasindhu then takes the later day: Wed 19 Oct.

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.
