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

Smarta · For Smartas, Rama Ekadashi is on Mon 25 Oct: Ekadashi holds sunrise that day. Vaishnavas fast on Tue 26 Oct.

Dashami until 05:40, inside arunodaya; Ekadashi at sunrise. 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 holds sunrise on Mon 25 Oct only, at 06:03: Mon 25 Oct.

Vaishnava

Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Mon 25 Oct Dashami lasts until 05:40, inside arunodaya (04:27–06:03), so that Ekadashi is pierced. Ekadashi ends at 03:22, so Vaishnavas fast on Tue 26 Oct: Tue 26 Oct.

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Tue 26 Oct, 08:47–17:47 (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, 17:47: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:24, which here ends before harivasara does.

Vaishnava · Wed 27 Oct, 06:03–17:46 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)

Dwadashi ends at 01:04 on Wed 27 Oct, in the night, before arunodaya (04:27): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 06:03, to sunset, 17:46, 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).
