Why is Rama Ekadashi on Sat 3 Nov in Sevan?
Rama Ekadashi is on Sat 3 Nov: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 03:40 to 01:44 Sun.
Ekadashi ended at 01:44; 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 Sat 3 Nov only, at 07:31: Sat 3 Nov. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 03:40, before it (05:55–07:31).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sun 4 Nov, 07:33–17:53 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 01:44 on Sun 4 Nov to 23:54 on Sun 4 Nov; harivasara ends at 07:16. So parana runs from sunrise on Sun 4 Nov, 07:33. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 17:53: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:37.
