This date is computed from sidereal Sun and Moon positions (Swiss-precision Meeus ephemeris, Lahiri ayanamsa), not copied from a stored calendar. Regional almanacs that apply a different local rule can occasionally differ by one day; where a festival anchors to a specific hour, such as midnight for Janmashtami or midday for Ganesh Chaturthi, the matching classical rule is used.
Significance
Karwa Chauth is the sunrise-to-moonrise fast of the dark fourth after the Ashwina full moon. Because the fast ends only at moonrise, the evening tithi and the local moonrise time govern the observance.
Timing Your Observance
A festival date names the day; a muhurta names the hour. For puja timing on October 18, consult the day's panchanga: the prevailing tithi and nakshatra, the choghadiya windows, and the Rahu Kaal period to avoid. The daily panchang, choghadiya timings, and Rahu Kaal calculator cover this for your city, and the birth chart calculator shows how the day's sky sits against your own chart.
