Why is Indira Ekadashi on Wed 27 Sep in Sevan?

Indira Ekadashi is on Wed 27 Sep: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.

Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 03:06 to 05:26 Thu.

Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 05:26; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 03:06 Wed to 05:26.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC+4). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Wed 27 Sep only, at 06:51: Wed 27 Sep. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 03:06, before it (05:15–06:51).

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Vaishnava · Thu 28 Sep, 11:57–18:48 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 05:26 on Thu 28 Sep to 07:28 on Fri 29 Sep; harivasara ends at 11:57. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:48: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:15, which here ends before harivasara does.

The rule

Ashwina Krishna Ekadashi (purnimanta) · Bhadrapada Krishna Ekadashi (amanta)

The Ekadashi fast runs from sunrise until parana the next day.

Smarta: Ekadashi at sunrise; over two sunrises the first, or the second when Dwadashi grows too; with none, the day it is current (Nirnayasindhu).
Vaishnava: Ekadashi through arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise, unpierced by Dashami; over two sunrises, the second.
Breaking the fast: on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara).
