Why is Indira Ekadashi on Sun 18 Sep or Mon 19 Sep in Sevan?
Smarta · For Smartas, Indira Ekadashi is on Sun 18 Sep: Ekadashi holds sunrise that day. Vaishnavas fast on Mon 19 Sep.
Dashami until 05:00, inside arunodaya; Ekadashi at sunrise. Ekadashi: 05:00 to 03:24 Mon.
Ekadashi ended at 03:24; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 05:00 Sun to 03:24.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+3). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Sun 18 Sep only, at 05:42: Sun 18 Sep.
Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Sun 18 Sep Dashami lasts until 05:00, inside arunodaya (04:06–05:42), so that Ekadashi is pierced. Ekadashi ends at 03:24, so Vaishnavas fast on Mon 19 Sep: Mon 19 Sep.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Mon 19 Sep, 08:49–18:03 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 03:24 on Mon 19 Sep to 01:06 on Tue 20 Sep; harivasara ends at 08:49. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:03: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:11, which here ends before harivasara does.
Vaishnava · Tue 20 Sep, 05:44–18:01 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 01:06 on Tue 20 Sep, in the night, before arunodaya (04:08): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 05:44, to sunset, 18:01, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.
