Why is Utpanna Ekadashi on Sun 9 Dec in Sevan?
Utpanna Ekadashi is on Sun 9 Dec: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 04:36 to 02:16 Mon.
Ekadashi ended at 02:16; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+4). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Sun 9 Dec only, at 08:11: Sun 9 Dec. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 04:36, before it (06:35–08:11).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Mon 10 Dec, 08:12–17:33 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 02:16 on Mon 10 Dec to 23:22 on Mon 10 Dec; harivasara ends at 07:32. So parana runs from sunrise on Mon 10 Dec, 08:12. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 17:33: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 10:04.
