Why is Rama Ekadashi on Tue 21 Oct in Sevan?
Rama Ekadashi is on Tue 21 Oct: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 06:03 to 04:50 Wed.
Ekadashi ended at 04:50; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 06:03 Tue to 04:50.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+5). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Tue 21 Oct only, at 08:16: Tue 21 Oct. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 06:03, before it (06:40–08:16).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Wed 22 Oct, 10:21–19:10 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 04:50 on Wed 22 Oct to 02:52 on Thu 23 Oct; harivasara ends at 10:21. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:10: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 10:28.
