Why is Karwa Chauth on Sun 24 Oct in Rustenburg?

Karwa Chauth is on Sun 24 Oct: Chaturthi holds moonrise that night.

Moonrise at 20:59 is Tritiya; Chaturthi begins at 23:32. Chaturthi: 23:32 to 02:13 Mon.

Chaturthi at moonrise, 21:53. Chaturthi: 23:32 Sat to 02:13 Mon.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC+2). Band: the tithi. Line: Moonrise. Dark strip: night.

The Karwa Chauth fast is broken at moonrise. Chaturthi runs from 23:32 on Sat 23 Oct to 02:13 on Mon 25 Oct, so it holds moonrise only on Sun 24 Oct, at 21:53.

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.
