Why is Saphala Ekadashi on Fri 11 Dec or Sat 12 Dec in Sevan?

Smarta · For Smartas, Saphala Ekadashi is on Fri 11 Dec: Ekadashi holds sunrise that day. Vaishnavas fast on Sat 12 Dec.

Dashami until 06:07, inside arunodaya; Ekadashi at sunrise. Ekadashi: 06:07 to 05:53 Sat.

Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 05:53; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 06:07 Fri to 05:53.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC+3). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.

Smarta

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Fri 11 Dec only, at 07:12: Fri 11 Dec.

Vaishnava

Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Fri 11 Dec Dashami lasts until 06:07, inside arunodaya (05:36–07:12), so that Ekadashi is pierced. Ekadashi ends at 05:53, so Vaishnavas fast on Sat 12 Dec: Sat 12 Dec.

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Sat 12 Dec, 11:38–16:33 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 05:53 on Sat 12 Dec to 04:52 on Sun 13 Dec; harivasara ends at 11:38. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 16:33: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:05, which here ends before harivasara does.

Vaishnava · Sun 13 Dec, 07:14–16:33 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)

Dwadashi ends at 04:52 on Sun 13 Dec, in the night, before arunodaya (05:38): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 07:14, to sunset, 16:33, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.

The rule

Pausha Krishna Ekadashi (purnimanta) · Margashirsha 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).
