Why is Papankusha Ekadashi on Wed 12 Oct in Sevan?
Papankusha Ekadashi is on Wed 12 Oct: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 20:58 Tue to 19:44.
Ekadashi ended at 19:44 Wed; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+4). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Wed 12 Oct only, at 07:07: Wed 12 Oct. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 20:58 Tue, before it (05:31–07:07).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Thu 13 Oct, 07:08–17:45
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 19:44 on Wed 12 Oct to 17:45 on Thu 13 Oct; harivasara ends at 01:14. So parana runs from sunrise on Thu 13 Oct, 07:08. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:23.
The rule
