Why is Pausha Putrada Ekadashi on Sun 24 Jan in Pāthardi?
Pausha Putrada Ekadashi is on Sun 24 Jan: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 20:56 Sat to 22:58.
Ekadashi ended at 22:58 Sun; 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 Sun 24 Jan only, at 07:05: Sun 24 Jan. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 20:56 Sat, before it (05:29–07:05).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Mon 25 Jan, 07:05–18:18 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 22:58 on Sun 24 Jan to 00:25 on Tue 26 Jan; harivasara ends at 05:20. So parana runs from sunrise on Mon 25 Jan, 07:05. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:18: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:19.
The rule
