Why does Ekadashi fall on these dates?
The next one, Fri 20 Nov, in Chahārbāgh
Smarta · For Smartas, Dev Uthani Ekadashi is on Fri 20 Nov: Ekadashi holds sunrise that day. Vaishnavas fast on Sat 21 Nov.
Dashami until 05:16, inside arunodaya; Ekadashi at sunrise. Ekadashi: 05:16 to 04:32 Sat.
Ekadashi ended at 04:32; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 05:16 Fri to 04:32.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+3:30). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Fri 20 Nov only, at 06:47: Fri 20 Nov.
Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Fri 20 Nov Dashami lasts until 05:16, inside arunodaya (05:11–06:47), so that Ekadashi is pierced. Ekadashi ends at 04:32, so Vaishnavas fast on Sat 21 Nov: Sat 21 Nov.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Sat 21 Nov, 10:08–16:56 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 04:32 on Sat 21 Nov to 02:57 on Sun 22 Nov; harivasara ends at 10:08. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 16:56: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:50, which here ends before harivasara does.
Vaishnava · Sun 22 Nov, 06:49–16:55 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 02:57 on Sun 22 Nov, in the night, before arunodaya (05:13): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 06:49, to sunset, 16:55, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.
The rule
Kartika Shukla Ekadashi
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).
