Why does Sankashti Chaturthi fall on these dates?
The next one, Fri 27 Nov, in Ruston
Sankashti Chaturthi is on Fri 27 Nov: Chaturthi touches moonrise on neither night, and the later day is taken.
Moonrise at 19:12 is Tritiya; Chaturthi begins at 22:19. Chaturthi: 22:19 to 19:10 Fri.
Chaturthi ended at 19:10; moonrise at 20:26 is Panchami. Chaturthi: 22:19 Thu to 19:10.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−6). Band: the tithi. Line: Moonrise. Dark strip: night.
The Sankashti fast is broken at moonrise. Chaturthi runs from 22:19 on Thu 26 Nov to 19:10 on Fri 27 Nov, between the two nights’ moonrise, touching neither. The Dharmasindhu then takes the later day: Fri 27 Nov. 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.
