Why is Karwa Chauth on Thu 9 Oct in Maclear?

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

Chaturthi at moonrise, 21:13. Chaturthi: 19:24 to 16:09 Fri.

Chaturthi ended at 16:09; moonrise at 22:27 is Panchami.

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 19:24 on Thu 9 Oct to 16:09 on Fri 10 Oct, so it holds moonrise only on Thu 9 Oct, at 21:13.

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.
