Why is Shattila Ekadashi on Wed 14 Jan in Pāthardi?
Shattila Ekadashi is on Wed 14 Jan: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 15:18.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 15:18 Tue to 17:53.
One row per day, on one clock (IST). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Wed 14 Jan only, at 07:05: Wed 14 Jan. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 15:18 Tue, before it (05:29–07:05).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Thu 15 Jan, 07:05–18:11 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 17:53 on Wed 14 Jan to 20:17 on Thu 15 Jan; harivasara ends at 00:29. So parana runs from sunrise on Thu 15 Jan, 07:05. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:11: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:18.
