Why is Kamika Ekadashi on Thu 29 Jul or Fri 30 Jul?
In New Delhi
Smarta · For Smartas, Kamika Ekadashi is on Thu 29 Jul: Ekadashi holds no sunrise, and a kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current. Vaishnavas fast on Fri 30 Jul.
Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 07:34. Ekadashi: 07:34 to 05:13 Fri.
Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 05:13; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 07:34 Thu to 05:13.
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 begins at 07:34 on Thu 29 Jul, after that sunrise (05:40), and ends at 05:13 on Fri 30 Jul, before the next (05:41 Fri): it holds no sunrise. A kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current: Thu 29 Jul.
Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Thu 29 Jul arunodaya (04:04–05:40) is Dashami. On Fri 30 Jul it holds no Dashami (Ekadashi until 05:13, then Dwadashi): Fri 30 Jul.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Fri 30 Jul, 10:29–19:13 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 05:13 on Fri 30 Jul to 02:18 on Sat 31 Jul; harivasara ends at 10:29. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:13: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:23, which here ends before harivasara does.
Vaishnava · Sat 31 Jul, 05:41–19:13 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 02:18 on Sat 31 Jul, in the night, before arunodaya (04:05): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 05:41, to sunset, 19:13, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.
The rule
Shravana Krishna Ekadashi (purnimanta) · Ashadha 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).
Why the cities differ
New Delhi keeps Smarta Thu 29 Jul, Vaishnava Fri 30 Jul. Kolkata keeps Fri 30 Jul.
Time runs down, the same instant across both columns · each city on its own clock · dashed: tithi changes · filled: what each reading keeps
