Why is Indira Ekadashi on Fri 23 Sep or Sat 24 Sep in Pāthardi?

Smarta · For Smartas, Indira Ekadashi is on Fri 23 Sep: Ekadashi holds no sunrise, and a kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current. Vaishnavas fast on Sat 24 Sep.

Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 06:52. Ekadashi: 06:52 to 05:15 Sat.

Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 05:15; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 06:52 Fri to 05:15.

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

Smarta

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise. It begins at 06:52 on Fri 23 Sep, after that sunrise (06:18), and ends at 05:15 on Sat 24 Sep, before the next (06:18 Sat): it holds no sunrise. A kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current: Fri 23 Sep.

Vaishnava

Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Fri 23 Sep arunodaya (04:42–06:18) is Dashami. On Sat 24 Sep it holds no Dashami (Ekadashi until 05:15, then Dwadashi): Sat 24 Sep.

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Sat 24 Sep, 10:39–18:24 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 05:15 on Sat 24 Sep to 02:53 on Sun 25 Sep; harivasara ends at 10:39. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:24: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:43, which here ends before harivasara does.

Vaishnava · Sun 25 Sep, 06:18–18:23 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)

Dwadashi ends at 02:53 on Sun 25 Sep, in the night, before arunodaya (04:42): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 06:18, to sunset, 18:23, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.

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).
