Why is Indira Ekadashi on Thu 14 Sep or Fri 15 Sep in Davinópolis?
Smarta · For Smartas, Indira Ekadashi is on Thu 14 Sep: Ekadashi holds no sunrise, and a kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current. Vaishnavas fast on Fri 15 Sep.
Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 07:25. Ekadashi: 07:25 to 05:12 Fri.
Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 05:12; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 07:25 Thu to 05:12.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−3). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise. It begins at 07:25 on Thu 14 Sep, after that sunrise (06:02), and ends at 05:12 on Fri 15 Sep, before the next (06:02 Fri): it holds no sunrise. A kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current: Thu 14 Sep.
Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Thu 14 Sep arunodaya (04:26–06:02) is Dashami. On Fri 15 Sep it holds no Dashami (Ekadashi until 05:12, then Dwadashi): Fri 15 Sep.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Fri 15 Sep, 10:30–18:06 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 05:12 on Fri 15 Sep to 02:21 on Sat 16 Sep; harivasara ends at 10:30. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:06: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:27, which here ends before harivasara does.
Vaishnava · Sat 16 Sep, 06:01–18:06 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 02:21 on Sat 16 Sep, in the night, before arunodaya (04:25): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 06:01, to sunset, 18:06, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.
