Why is Utpanna Ekadashi on Fri 4 Dec in Thāne?
Utpanna Ekadashi is on Fri 4 Dec: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 23:04 Thu to 23:45.
Ekadashi ended at 23:45 Fri; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
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 Fri 4 Dec only, at 06:56: Fri 4 Dec. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 23:04 Thu, before it (05:20–06:56).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sat 5 Dec, 06:57–17:59 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 23:45 on Fri 4 Dec to 00:52 on Sun 6 Dec; harivasara ends at 06:02. So parana runs from sunrise on Sat 5 Dec, 06:57. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 17:59: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:09.
