The rule behind each date
Sankashti Chaturthi is the fourth day of the waning moon, kept for Lord Ganesha. The fast is kept on the day the Chaturthi tithi is running at moonrise, and it is broken after sighting the Moon, so the moonrise time matters most; moonrise differs by city, so check your own city's time. A Sankashti that falls on a Tuesday is Angaraki Sankashti. Karwa Chauth is the Kartik Krishna Chaturthi and Sakat Chauth the Magha one. Dates can differ by a day between cities when the tithi changes close to the deciding moment.
