Why is Dev Uthani Ekadashi on Wed 4 Nov in Pāthardi?
Dev Uthani Ekadashi is on Wed 4 Nov: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 02:04 to 23:26.
Ekadashi ended at 23:26 Wed; 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 Wed 4 Nov only, at 06:30: Wed 4 Nov. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 02:04, before it (04:54–06:30).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Thu 5 Nov, 06:31–17:54 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 23:26 on Wed 4 Nov to 20:43 on Thu 5 Nov; harivasara ends at 04:45. So parana runs from sunrise on Thu 5 Nov, 06:31. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 17:54: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:47.
The rule
Kartika Shukla Ekadashi
