Why is Parsva Ekadashi on Mon 12 Sep or Tue 13 Sep in Sevan?

Smarta · For Smartas, Parsva Ekadashi is on Mon 12 Sep: Ekadashi holds sunrise that day. Vaishnavas fast on Tue 13 Sep.

Dashami until 06:35, inside arunodaya; Ekadashi at sunrise. Ekadashi: 06:35 to 06:26 Tue.

Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 06:26; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 06:35 Mon to 06:26.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC+4). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.

Smarta

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Mon 12 Sep only, at 06:37: Mon 12 Sep.

Vaishnava

Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Mon 12 Sep Dashami lasts until 06:35, inside arunodaya (05:01–06:37), so that Ekadashi is pierced. Ekadashi ends at 06:26, so Vaishnavas fast on Tue 13 Sep: Tue 13 Sep.

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Tue 13 Sep, 12:13–19:11 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 06:26 on Tue 13 Sep to 05:32 on Wed 14 Sep; harivasara ends at 12:13. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:11: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:09, which here ends before harivasara does.

Vaishnava · Wed 14 Sep, 05:03–05:32 (from arunodaya, Tithika’s convention)

Dwadashi ends at 05:32 on Wed 14 Sep, after arunodaya begins (05:03) and before sunrise (06:39). When Dwadashi is short, the Nirnayasindhu, citing the Matsya, brings parana forward to dawn, before Dwadashi ends. Tithika starts it at arunodaya: Tithika’s convention.

The rule

Bhadrapada Shukla Ekadashi

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).
