Why is Parsva Ekadashi on Thu 16 Sep or Fri 17 Sep in Diffa?

Smarta · For Smartas, Parsva Ekadashi is on Thu 16 Sep: Ekadashi holds sunrise that day. Vaishnavas fast on Fri 17 Sep.

Dashami until 05:06, inside arunodaya; Ekadashi at sunrise. Ekadashi: 05:06 to 03:38 Fri.

Ekadashi ended at 03:38; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 05:06 Thu to 03:38.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC+1). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.

Smarta

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Thu 16 Sep only, at 05:58: Thu 16 Sep.

Vaishnava

Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Thu 16 Sep Dashami lasts until 05:06, inside arunodaya (04:22–05:58), so that Ekadashi is pierced. Ekadashi ends at 03:38, so Vaishnavas fast on Fri 17 Sep: Fri 17 Sep.

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Fri 17 Sep, 09:19–18:09 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 03:38 on Fri 17 Sep to 02:24 on Sat 18 Sep; harivasara ends at 09:19. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:09: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:24, which here ends before harivasara does.

Vaishnava · Sat 18 Sep, 05:58–18:08 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)

Dwadashi ends at 02:24 on Sat 18 Sep, in the night, before arunodaya (04:22): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 05:58, to sunset, 18:08, since parana is a day act: 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).
