Why is Rama Ekadashi on Sat 14 Oct in Pāthardi?
Rama Ekadashi is on Sat 14 Oct: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 01:13 to 22:29.
Ekadashi ended at 22:29 Sat; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
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 Sat 14 Oct only, at 06:23: Sat 14 Oct. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 01:13, before it (04:47–06:23).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sun 15 Oct, 06:23–18:06 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 22:29 on Sat 14 Oct to 19:17 on Sun 15 Oct; harivasara ends at 03:41. So parana runs from sunrise on Sun 15 Oct, 06:23. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:06: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:44.
The rule
