Why is Karwa Chauth on Thu 29 Oct in Diffa?

Karwa Chauth is on Thu 29 Oct: Chaturthi touches moonrise on neither night, and the later day is taken.

Moonrise at 19:48 is Tritiya; Chaturthi begins at 20:37. Chaturthi: 20:37 to 17:40 Thu.

Chaturthi ended at 17:40; moonrise at 20:52 is Panchami. Chaturthi: 20:37 Wed to 17:40.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC+1). Band: the tithi. Line: Moonrise. Light strip: day; dark strip: night.

The Karwa Chauth fast is broken at moonrise. Chaturthi runs from 20:37 on Wed 28 Oct to 17:40 on Thu 29 Oct, between the two nights’ moonrise, touching neither. The Dharmasindhu then takes the later day: Thu 29 Oct.

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.
