Around 21:00 local time the moon was below the horizon over New Delhi — it was a new moon that night, just not up yet. Local time here is estimated from New Delhi's longitude rather than looked up from a timezone database — within about an hour almost everywhere (see the free generator for the same trade-off spelled out).
