Why is Indira Ekadashi on Sat 2 Oct in Diffa?

Indira Ekadashi is on Sat 2 Oct: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.

Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 18:34 Fri to 18:41.

Ekadashi ended at 18:41 Sat; arunodaya is Dwadashi.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC+1). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Sat 2 Oct only, at 05:58: Sat 2 Oct. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 18:34 Fri, before it (04:22–05:58).

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Vaishnava · Sun 3 Oct, 05:59–17:57 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 18:41 on Sat 2 Oct to 18:00 on Sun 3 Oct; harivasara ends at 00:30. So parana runs from sunrise on Sun 3 Oct, 05:59. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 17:57: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:22.

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).
