Why is Dev Uthani Ekadashi on Thu 23 Nov in Pāthardi?
Dev Uthani Ekadashi is on Thu 23 Nov: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 23:04 Wed to 21:02.
Ekadashi ended at 21:02 Thu; 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 Thu 23 Nov only, at 06:41: Thu 23 Nov. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 23:04 Wed, before it (05:05–06:41).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Fri 24 Nov, 06:41–17:49 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 21:02 on Thu 23 Nov to 19:07 on Fri 24 Nov; harivasara ends at 02:33. So parana runs from sunrise on Fri 24 Nov, 06:41. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 17:49: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:55.
The rule
Kartika Shukla Ekadashi
The Ekadashi fast runs from sunrise until parana the next day.
