Why is Rama Ekadashi on Sun 31 Oct or Mon 1 Nov in Davinópolis?
Smarta · For Smartas, Rama Ekadashi is on Sun 31 Oct: Ekadashi holds no sunrise, and a kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current. Vaishnavas fast on Mon 1 Nov.
Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 05:57. Ekadashi: 05:57 to 04:52 Mon.
Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 04:52; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 05:57 Sun to 04:52.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−3). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise. It begins at 05:57 on Sun 31 Oct, after that sunrise (05:44), and ends at 04:52 on Mon 1 Nov, before the next (05:43 Mon): it holds no sunrise. A kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current: Sun 31 Oct.
Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Sun 31 Oct arunodaya (04:08–05:44) is Dashami. On Mon 1 Nov it holds no Dashami (Ekadashi until 04:52, then Dwadashi): Mon 1 Nov.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Mon 1 Nov, 10:24–18:02 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 04:52 on Mon 1 Nov to 03:01 on Tue 2 Nov; harivasara ends at 10:24. 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 08:11, which here ends before harivasara does.
Vaishnava · Tue 2 Nov, 05:43–18:02 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 03:01 on Tue 2 Nov, in the night, before arunodaya (04:07): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 05:43, to sunset, 18:02, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.
