Why is Indira Ekadashi on Mon 26 Sep in Sevan?
Indira Ekadashi is on Mon 26 Sep: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 23:33 Sun to 23:33.
Ekadashi ended at 23:33 Mon; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
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 Mon 26 Sep only, at 06:51: Mon 26 Sep. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 23:33 Sun, before it (05:15–06:51).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Tue 27 Sep, 06:52–18:48 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 23:33 on Mon 26 Sep to 00:03 on Wed 28 Sep; harivasara ends at 05:40. So parana runs from sunrise on Tue 27 Sep, 06:52. 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.
