Why is Parsva Ekadashi on Tue 22 Sep in Pāthardi?
Parsva Ekadashi is on Tue 22 Sep: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 20:01 Mon to 21:43.
Ekadashi ended at 21:43 Tue; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
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 holds sunrise on Tue 22 Sep only, at 06:18: Tue 22 Sep. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 20:01 Mon, before it (04:42–06:18).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Wed 23 Sep, 06:18–18:24 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 21:43 on Tue 22 Sep to 22:51 on Wed 23 Sep; harivasara ends at 04:00. So parana runs from sunrise on Wed 23 Sep, 06:18. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:24: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:43.
The rule
