Why is Karwa Chauth on Sun 8 Oct in Sofia?

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

Chaturthi at moonrise, 21:00. Chaturthi: 14:28 to 11:46 Mon.

Chaturthi ended at 11:46; moonrise at 21:44 is Panchami.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC+3). Band: the tithi. Line: Moonrise. Dark strip: night.

The Karwa Chauth fast is broken at moonrise. Chaturthi runs from 14:28 on Sun 8 Oct to 11:46 on Mon 9 Oct, so it holds moonrise only on Sun 8 Oct, at 21:00.

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.
