Why is Karwa Chauth on Tue 31 Oct in Sofia?

Karwa Chauth is on Tue 31 Oct: Chaturthi holds moonrise that night.

Chaturthi at moonrise, 18:49. Chaturthi: 18:00 to 17:49 Wed.

Chaturthi ended at 17:49; moonrise at 19:37 is Panchami. Chaturthi: 18:00 Tue to 17:49.

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

The Karwa Chauth fast is broken at moonrise. Chaturthi runs from 18:00 on Tue 31 Oct to 17:49 on Wed 1 Nov, so it holds moonrise only on Tue 31 Oct, at 18:49.

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.
