Why is Karwa Chauth on Thu 9 Oct in Berkeley?

Karwa Chauth is on Thu 9 Oct: Chaturthi holds moonrise that night.

Chaturthi at moonrise, 20:11. Chaturthi: 10:24 to 07:09 Fri.

Chaturthi ended at 07:09; moonrise at 21:01 is Panchami.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC−7). Band: the tithi. Line: Moonrise. Dark strip: night.

The Karwa Chauth fast is broken at moonrise. Chaturthi runs from 10:24 on Thu 9 Oct to 07:09 on Fri 10 Oct, so it holds moonrise only on Thu 9 Oct, at 20:11.

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.
