Why is Karwa Chauth on Sun 20 Oct in Sofia?

Karwa Chauth is on Sun 20 Oct: Chaturthi holds moonrise that night.

Moonrise at 19:36 is Tritiya; Chaturthi begins at 04:16 Sun.

Chaturthi at moonrise, 20:19. Chaturthi: 04:16 to 01:47 Mon.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC+3). Band: the tithi. Line: Moonrise. Light strip: day; dark strip: night.

The Karwa Chauth fast is broken at moonrise. Chaturthi runs from 04:16 on Sun 20 Oct to 01:47 on Mon 21 Oct, so it holds moonrise only on Sun 20 Oct, at 20:19.

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.
