Why is Karwa Chauth on Thu 29 Oct in Lib?

Karwa Chauth is on Thu 29 Oct: Chaturthi holds moonrise that night.

Moonrise at 20:13 is Tritiya; Chaturthi begins at 07:37 Thu.

Chaturthi at moonrise, 21:16. Chaturthi: 07:37 to 04:40 Fri.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC+12). Band: the tithi. Line: Moonrise. Dark strip: night.

The Karwa Chauth fast is broken at moonrise. Chaturthi runs from 07:37 on Thu 29 Oct to 04:40 on Fri 30 Oct, so it holds moonrise only on Thu 29 Oct, at 21:16.

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.
