Why is Karwa Chauth on Wed 28 Oct in Ota?

Karwa Chauth is on Wed 28 Oct: Chaturthi holds moonrise that night.

Chaturthi at moonrise, 20:42. Chaturthi: 20:37 to 17:40 Thu.

Chaturthi ended at 17:40; moonrise at 21:46 is Panchami.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC+1). Band: the tithi. Line: Moonrise. 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, so it holds moonrise only on Wed 28 Oct, at 20:42.

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.
