Krishna Chaturthi prevailing at local moonrise; the fast is broken after seeing the moon — so the moonrise time of this city matters, not India's.
Ganesha/Narada Purana: the Ganesha vrat and the Moon arghya on the Krishna Chaturthi bring the end of troubles, freedom from debt, removal of obstacles, the blessing of children; Ganesha cursed the Moon with a blemish and then ordained the arghya to that very Moon on Sankashti — without seeing the Moon the Sankashti is incomplete (the reverse on Vinayaka Chaturthi — seeing the Moon is forbidden).
Angarki Sankashti: Mangala (Angaraka) did penance to Ganesha and won the boon that the Tuesday Sankashti be named after him and its fruit equal a whole year's Sankashtis — hence lakhs at the temples of Maharashtra-Karnataka on Angarki (Siddhivinayak, Ashtavinayak, Dagdusheth). The Sankashti date is moonrise-vyapini — the day on which the Chaturthi is present at moonrise; Vinayaka's is midday-vyapini.
Thursday, October 29, 2026 — Vakratunda Sankashti Chaturthi (NZDT).
The tithi is judged at the local moment (sunrise, moonrise or sunset) and Wellington is hours away from India in time, so the same tithi can fall on a different calendar date here.
