Why is Karwa Chauth on Sun 8 Oct in Cuenca?

Karwa Chauth is on Sun 8 Oct: Chaturthi holds moonrise that night.

Moonrise at 20:08 is Tritiya; Chaturthi begins at 06:28 Sun.

Chaturthi at moonrise, 21:04. Chaturthi: 06:28 to 03:46 Mon.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC−5). Band: the tithi. Line: Moonrise. Dark strip: night.

The Karwa Chauth fast is broken at moonrise. Chaturthi runs from 06:28 on Sun 8 Oct to 03:46 on Mon 9 Oct, so it holds moonrise only on Sun 8 Oct, at 21:04.

The rule

Kartika Krishna Chaturthi (purnimanta) · Ashwina Krishna Chaturthi (amanta)

The Karwa Chauth fast is broken at moonrise.
