Why does Sankashti Chaturthi fall on these dates?
The next one, Fri 27 Nov, in Rustenburg
Sankashti Chaturthi is on Fri 27 Nov: Chaturthi holds moonrise that night.
Moonrise at 21:09 is Tritiya; Chaturthi begins at 06:19 Fri.
Chaturthi at moonrise, 22:07. Chaturthi: 06:19 to 03:10 Sat.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+2). Band: the tithi. Line: Moonrise. Dark strip: night.
The Sankashti fast is broken at moonrise. Chaturthi runs from 06:19 on Fri 27 Nov to 03:10 on Sat 28 Nov, so it holds moonrise only on Fri 27 Nov, at 22:07. No text giving Sankashti Chaturthi’s time was found; moonrise is Tithika’s convention.
The rule
Every Krishna Chaturthi
The Sankashti fast is broken at moonrise.
- Smarta
- the night whose moonrise Chaturthi holds: Tithika’s convention, since no text gives the time.
- Vaishnava
- the Smarta day.
