Why is Saphala Ekadashi on Wed 17 Dec in Ipameri?

Saphala Ekadashi is on Wed 17 Dec: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.

Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 03:39 to 04:22 Thu.

Ekadashi ended at 04:22; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 03:39 Wed to 04:22.

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 Wed 17 Dec only, at 06:33: Wed 17 Dec. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 03:39, before it (04:57–06:33).

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Vaishnava · Thu 18 Dec, 10:21–19:45 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 04:22 on Thu 18 Dec to 04:16 on Fri 19 Dec; harivasara ends at 10:21. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:45: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:11, which here ends before harivasara does.

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).
