Why is Saphala Ekadashi on Tue 20 Dec or Wed 21 Dec in Ipameri?
Smarta · For Smartas, Saphala Ekadashi is on Tue 20 Dec: Ekadashi holds sunrise that day. Vaishnavas fast on Wed 21 Dec.
Dashami until 05:17, inside arunodaya; Ekadashi at sunrise. Ekadashi: 05:17 to 02:39 Wed.
Ekadashi ended at 02:39; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 05:17 Tue to 02:39.
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 Tue 20 Dec only, at 06:34: Tue 20 Dec.
Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Tue 20 Dec Dashami lasts until 05:17, inside arunodaya (04:58–06:34), so that Ekadashi is pierced. Ekadashi ends at 02:39, so Vaishnavas fast on Wed 21 Dec: Wed 21 Dec.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Wed 21 Dec, 07:58–19:46 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 02:39 on Wed 21 Dec to 23:55 on Wed 21 Dec; harivasara ends at 07:58. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:46: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:13.
Vaishnava · Thu 22 Dec, 06:35–19:47 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 23:55 Wed on Thu 22 Dec, in the night, before arunodaya (04:59): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 06:35, to sunset, 19:47, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.
The rule

- Breaking the fast
