Why is Dev Uthani Ekadashi on Sat 28 Oct in Pāthardi?
Dev Uthani Ekadashi is on Sat 28 Oct: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 03:47 to 06:21 Sun.
Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 06:21; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 03:47 Sat to 06:21.
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 Sat 28 Oct only, at 06:28: Sat 28 Oct. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 03:47, before it (04:52–06:28).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sun 29 Oct, 12:58–17:57 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 06:21 on Sun 29 Oct to 08:51 on Mon 30 Oct; harivasara ends at 12:58. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 17:57: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:46, which here ends before harivasara does.
The rule
Kartika Shukla Ekadashi
The Ekadashi fast runs from sunrise until parana the next day.
