Why is Karwa Chauth on Thu 17 Oct in Diffa?

Karwa Chauth is on Thu 17 Oct: Chaturthi holds moonrise that night.

Moonrise at 19:53 is Tritiya; Chaturthi begins at 02:18 Thu.

Chaturthi at moonrise, 20:38. Chaturthi: 02:18 to 02:58 Fri.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC+1). Band: the tithi. Line: Moonrise. Dark strip: night.

The Karwa Chauth fast is broken at moonrise. Chaturthi runs from 02:18 on Thu 17 Oct to 02:58 on Fri 18 Oct, so it holds moonrise only on Thu 17 Oct, at 20:38.

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.
