Why is Rama Ekadashi on Mon 25 Oct or Tue 26 Oct in Macau?
Smarta · For Smartas, Rama Ekadashi is on Mon 25 Oct: Ekadashi holds no sunrise, and a kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current. Vaishnavas fast on Tue 26 Oct.
Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 08:10. Ekadashi: 08:10 to 05:52 Tue.
Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 05:52; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 08:10 Mon to 05:52.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+8). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise. It begins at 08:10 on Mon 25 Oct, after that sunrise (06:26), and ends at 05:52 on Tue 26 Oct, before the next (06:26 Tue): it holds no sunrise. A kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current: Mon 25 Oct.
Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Mon 25 Oct arunodaya (04:50–06:26) is Dashami. On Tue 26 Oct it holds no Dashami (Ekadashi until 05:52, then Dwadashi): Tue 26 Oct.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Tue 26 Oct, 11:17–17:53 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 05:52 on Tue 26 Oct to 03:34 on Wed 27 Oct; harivasara ends at 11:17. 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 08:43, which here ends before harivasara does.
Vaishnava · Wed 27 Oct, 06:27–17:52 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 03:34 on Wed 27 Oct, in the night, before arunodaya (04:51): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 06:27, to sunset, 17:52, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.
