Karwa Chauth · Worldwide 2026
Karwa Chauth 2026: Moonrise Time in Your City
Karwa Chauth 2026 falls on Thursday, 29 October. The fast is broken at moonrise — and moonrise is a strictly local event, hours apart between Delhi, London and New York. The times below are computed from the ephemeris for each city's own coordinates (daylight saving included), the same engine this site uses for kundli work. Diaspora families keep the same date as India and sight the moon at their own city's time.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Karwa Chauth 2026 date?
Karwa Chauth 2026 falls on Thursday, 29 October — the Kartik Krishna Chaturthi. Diaspora families observe the same date as India and break the fast at their own city's moonrise that evening.
What time is the Karwa Chauth moon visible in New York in 2026?
Moonrise in New York on 29 October 2026 is at about 8:33 PM local time. The moon becomes visible shortly after, horizon and weather permitting.
Why is the moonrise so different from India's time?
Moonrise is a local astronomical event — it depends on your city's longitude, latitude and date. That is why each city needs its own computed time rather than a converted Indian timing.
How are these moonrise times calculated?
Each time is computed from the Swiss Ephemeris for the city's exact coordinates and timezone (DST included) — the same engine used for kundli calculations on this site.
