Why is Rama Ekadashi on Mon 25 Oct in Stans?
Rama Ekadashi is on Mon 25 Oct: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 02:10 to 23:52.
Ekadashi ended at 23:52 Mon; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+2). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Mon 25 Oct only, at 07:58: Mon 25 Oct. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 02:10, before it (06:22–07:58).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Tue 26 Oct, 07:59–18:20 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 23:52 on Mon 25 Oct to 21:34 on Tue 26 Oct; harivasara ends at 05:17. So parana runs from sunrise on Tue 26 Oct, 07:59. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:20: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 10:03.
