Why is Rama Ekadashi on Mon 25 Oct or Tue 26 Oct in Odlābāri?

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 05:40. Ekadashi: 05:40 to 03:22 Tue.

Ekadashi ended at 03:22; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 05:40 Mon to 03:22.

One row per day, on one clock (IST). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.

Smarta

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise. It begins at 05:40 on Mon 25 Oct, after that sunrise (05:40), and ends at 03:22 on Tue 26 Oct, before the next (05:41 Tue): it holds no sunrise. A kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current: Mon 25 Oct.

Vaishnava

Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Mon 25 Oct arunodaya (04:04–05:40) is Dashami. On Tue 26 Oct it holds no Dashami (Ekadashi until 03:22, then Dwadashi): Tue 26 Oct.

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Tue 26 Oct, 08:47–16:57 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 03:22 on Tue 26 Oct to 01:04 on Wed 27 Oct; harivasara ends at 08:47. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 16:57: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 07:56, which here ends before harivasara does.

Vaishnava · Wed 27 Oct, 05:41–16:57 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)

Dwadashi ends at 01:04 on Wed 27 Oct, in the night, before arunodaya (04:05): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 05:41, to sunset, 16:57, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.

The rule

Kartika Krishna Ekadashi (purnimanta) · Ashwina Krishna Ekadashi (amanta)

The Ekadashi fast runs from sunrise until parana the next day.

Smarta
Ekadashi at sunrise; over two sunrises the first, or the second when Dwadashi grows too; with none, the day it is current (Nirnayasindhu).
Vaishnava
Ekadashi through arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise, unpierced by Dashami; over two sunrises, the second.
Breaking the fast
on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara).
