Why is Karwa Chauth on Wed 4 Nov in Diffa?

Karwa Chauth is on Wed 4 Nov: Chaturthi holds moonrise that night.

Moonrise at 19:54 is Tritiya; Chaturthi begins at 22:54. Chaturthi: 22:54 to 00:44 Thu.

Chaturthi at moonrise, 20:43. Chaturthi: 22:54 Tue to 00:44 Thu.

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 22:54 on Tue 3 Nov to 00:44 on Thu 5 Nov, so it holds moonrise only on Wed 4 Nov, at 20:43.

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.
