Why is Rama Ekadashi on Tue 20 Oct in Pāthardi?

Rama Ekadashi is on Tue 20 Oct: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.

Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 03:08 to 05:38 Wed.

Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 05:38; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 03:08 Tue to 05:38.

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 Tue 20 Oct only, at 06:24: Tue 20 Oct. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 03:08, before it (04:48–06:24).

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Vaishnava · Wed 21 Oct, 12:12–18:02 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 05:38 on Wed 21 Oct to 07:53 on Thu 22 Oct; harivasara ends at 12:12. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:02: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:44, which here ends before harivasara does.

The rule

Kartika Krishna Ekadashi (purnimanta) · Ashwina Krishna Ekadashi (amanta)

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).
