Why Wednesday 28 October
Karva Chauth is kept on the day the Chaturthi is running at moonrise. In New York the Chaturthi runs from 3:37 pm on Wednesday 28 October to 12:41 pm on Thursday 29 October, local time. The Moon rises at 7:35 pm on Wednesday 28 October, inside it; by the next evening the Chaturthi has ended. The same holds in every city above.
In India the same Chaturthi begins at 1:07 am on Thursday 29 October, India time, and holds that evening's moonrise, so India keeps Thursday 29 October.
