Why is Indira Ekadashi on Tue 6 Oct in Pāthardi?

Indira Ekadashi is on Tue 6 Oct: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.

Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 02:08 to 00:35 Wed.

Ekadashi ended at 00:35; 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 Tue 6 Oct only, at 06:20: Tue 6 Oct. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 02:08, before it (04:44–06:20).

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Vaishnava · Wed 7 Oct, 06:21–18:12 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 00:35 on Wed 7 Oct to 23:17 on Wed 7 Oct; harivasara ends at 06:15. So parana runs from sunrise on Wed 7 Oct, 06:21. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:12: 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).
