Why is Dev Uthani Ekadashi on Fri 20 Nov or Sat 21 Nov in Satānā?
Smarta · For Smartas, Dev Uthani Ekadashi is on Fri 20 Nov: Ekadashi holds no sunrise, and a kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current. Vaishnavas fast on Sat 21 Nov.
Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 07:16. Ekadashi: 07:16 to 06:32 Sat.
Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 06:32; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 07:16 Fri to 06:32.
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 begins at 07:16 on Fri 20 Nov, after that sunrise (06:45), and ends at 06:32 on Sat 21 Nov, before the next (06:46 Sat): it holds no sunrise. A kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current: Fri 20 Nov.
Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Fri 20 Nov arunodaya (05:09–06:45) is Dashami. On Sat 21 Nov it holds no Dashami (Ekadashi until 06:32, then Dwadashi): Sat 21 Nov.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Sat 21 Nov, 12:08–17:51 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 06:32 on Sat 21 Nov to 04:57 on Sun 22 Nov; harivasara ends at 12:08. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 17:51: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:59, which here ends before harivasara does.
Vaishnava · Sun 22 Nov, 06:47–17:51 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 04:57 on Sun 22 Nov, in the night, before arunodaya (05:11): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 06:47, to sunset, 17:51, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.
The rule

- Breaking the fast
