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

Smarta · For Smartas, Indira Ekadashi is on Fri 23 Sep: Ekadashi holds sunrise that day. Vaishnavas fast on Sat 24 Sep.

Dashami until 06:22, inside arunodaya; Ekadashi at sunrise. Ekadashi: 06:22 to 04:45 Sat.

Ekadashi ended at 04:45; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 06:22 Fri to 04:45.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC+5). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.

Smarta

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Fri 23 Sep only, at 07:47: Fri 23 Sep.

Vaishnava

Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Fri 23 Sep Dashami lasts until 06:22, inside arunodaya (06:11–07:47), so that Ekadashi is pierced. Ekadashi ends at 04:45, so Vaishnavas fast on Sat 24 Sep: Sat 24 Sep.

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Sat 24 Sep, 10:09–19:54 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 04:45 on Sat 24 Sep to 02:23 on Sun 25 Sep; harivasara ends at 10:09. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:54: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 10:14.

Vaishnava · Sun 25 Sep, 07:49–19:53 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)

Dwadashi ends at 02:23 on Sun 25 Sep, in the night, before arunodaya (06:13): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 07:49, to sunset, 19:53, 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).
