Why is Karwa Chauth on Sat 7 Oct in Chunga?

Karwa Chauth is on Sat 7 Oct: Chaturthi holds moonrise that night.

Moonrise at 20:26 is Tritiya; Chaturthi begins at 00:05 Sat.

Chaturthi at moonrise, 21:20. Chaturthi: 00:05 to 01:21 Sun.

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 00:05 on Sat 7 Oct to 01:21 on Sun 8 Oct, so it holds moonrise only on Sat 7 Oct, at 21:20.

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.
