Why is Dev Uthani Ekadashi on Fri 20 Nov in Samara?
Dev Uthani Ekadashi is on Fri 20 Nov: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 05:46 to 05:02 Sat.
Ekadashi ended at 05:02; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 05:46 Fri to 05:02.
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 Fri 20 Nov only, at 08:12: Fri 20 Nov. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 05:46, before it (06:36–08:12).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sat 21 Nov, 10:38–16:35 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 05:02 on Sat 21 Nov to 03:27 on Sun 22 Nov; harivasara ends at 10:38. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 16:35: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:54, which here ends before harivasara does.
