Why is Dev Uthani Ekadashi on Thu 23 Nov in Sevan?
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: 21:34 Wed to 19:32.
Ekadashi ended at 19:32 Thu; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
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 sunrise on Thu 23 Nov only, at 07:54: Thu 23 Nov. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 21:34 Wed, before it (06:18–07:54).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Fri 24 Nov, 07:55–17:36 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 19:32 on Thu 23 Nov to 17:37 on Fri 24 Nov; harivasara ends at 01:03. So parana runs from sunrise on Fri 24 Nov, 07:55. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 17:36: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:52.
