Why is Karwa Chauth on Thu 13 Oct in Sofia?

Karwa Chauth is on Thu 13 Oct: Chaturthi holds moonrise that night.

Moonrise at 20:10 is Tritiya; Chaturthi begins at 23:29.

Chaturthi at moonrise, 20:41. Chaturthi: 23:29 Wed to 00:39 Fri.

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 23:29 on Wed 12 Oct to 00:39 on Fri 14 Oct, so it holds moonrise only on Thu 13 Oct, at 20:41.

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.
