Why is Dev Uthani Ekadashi on Sat 24 Nov in Sevan?
Dev Uthani Ekadashi is on Sat 24 Nov: Ekadashi and Dwadashi both grow, so Smartas take the later day, and its arunodaya is free of Dashami.
Dashami until 07:36, inside arunodaya; Ekadashi at sunrise. Ekadashi: 07:36 to 09:08 Sat.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 07:36 Fri to 09:08.
Dwadashi: 09:08 Sat to 11:08, longer than its day: it grows too.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+4). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise. It holds both sunrises, 07:55 on Fri 23 Nov and 07:56 on Sat 24 Nov. Ekadashi (07:36 Fri 23 Nov to 09:08 Sat 24 Nov) and Dwadashi (09:08 Sat 24 Nov to 11:08 Sun 25 Nov) are both longer than their day; when both grow, Smartas take the later day: Sat 24 Nov. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: on Fri 23 Nov Dashami lasts until 07:36, inside it (06:19–07:55); on Sat 24 Nov Ekadashi holds all of it.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sun 25 Nov, 07:57–11:08
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 09:08 on Sat 24 Nov to 11:08 on Sun 25 Nov; harivasara ends at 15:38 Sat. So parana runs from sunrise on Sun 25 Nov, 07:57.
The rule
Kartika 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).
