Times are local to each city, computed from its own coordinates and real UTC offset for that date — so daylight saving is already accounted for. For Karva Chauth, the fast is broken at the sight of the moon.
The fast is broken at the sight of the moon, so the local moonrise time is the observance.
A tithi is a 12° step of the Moon's elongation from the Sun. It begins and ends at a single instant everywhere on Earth. What changes by location is whether the moment the rule points at — sunrise, sunset or moonrise — falls inside that window on a given local date. That is why the shift runs opposite to the timezone: places west of India can observe a day earlier, places east a day later.
