Why is Dev Uthani Ekadashi on Fri 20 Nov or Sat 21 Nov in Obock?

Smarta · For Smartas, Dev Uthani Ekadashi is on Fri 20 Nov: Ekadashi holds sunrise that day. Vaishnavas fast on Sat 21 Nov.

Dashami until 04:46, inside arunodaya; Ekadashi at sunrise. Ekadashi: 04:46 to 04:02 Sat.

Ekadashi ended at 04:02; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 04:46 Fri to 04:02.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC+3). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.

Smarta

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Fri 20 Nov only, at 06:06: Fri 20 Nov.

Vaishnava

Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Fri 20 Nov Dashami lasts until 04:46, inside arunodaya (04:30–06:06), so that Ekadashi is pierced. Ekadashi ends at 04:02, so Vaishnavas fast on Sat 21 Nov: Sat 21 Nov.

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Sat 21 Nov, 09:38–17:38 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 04:02 on Sat 21 Nov to 02:27 on Sun 22 Nov; harivasara ends at 09:38. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 17:38: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:24, which here ends before harivasara does.

Vaishnava · Sun 22 Nov, 06:07–17:38 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)

Dwadashi ends at 02:27 on Sun 22 Nov, in the night, before arunodaya (04:31): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 06:07, to sunset, 17:38, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.

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).
