Why is Rama Ekadashi on Fri 23 Oct in Sevan?
Rama Ekadashi is on Fri 23 Oct: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 18:23 Thu to 18:46.
Ekadashi ended at 18:46 Fri; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
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 23 Oct only, at 07:19: Fri 23 Oct. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 18:23 Thu, before it (05:43–07:19).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sat 24 Oct, 07:20–18:07 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 18:46 on Fri 23 Oct to 19:35 on Sat 24 Oct; harivasara ends at 00:58. So parana runs from sunrise on Sat 24 Oct, 07:20. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:07: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:29.
