Why is Indira Ekadashi on Wed 17 Sep in Pāthardi?

Indira Ekadashi is on Wed 17 Sep: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.

Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 00:22 to 23:40.

Ekadashi ended at 23:40 Wed; arunodaya is Dwadashi.

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

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Wed 17 Sep only, at 06:17: Wed 17 Sep. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 00:22, before it (04:41–06:17).

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Vaishnava · Thu 18 Sep, 06:17–18:29 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 23:40 on Wed 17 Sep to 23:25 on Thu 18 Sep; harivasara ends at 05:36. So parana runs from sunrise on Thu 18 Sep, 06:17. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:29: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:43.

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).
