The dates across India
The Smarta dates above are the same in Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Ahmedabad. The parana times are Delhi's; elsewhere they move with the local sunrise, which each city's day page gives: Delhi · Mumbai · Chennai · Kolkata · Bengaluru · Hyderabad.
Smarta and Vaishnava
The Smarta day is decided at sunrise, the Vaishnava day at arunodaya, four ghatikas (96 minutes) before it. Keep the day your family or temple keeps. Why ekadashi falls on two different days.
When to break the fast
Dharmasindhu, pariccheda 1, p. 17, read from the page image:
द्वादशीभूयस्त्वे द्वादशीप्रथमपादं हरिवासरसंज्ञकमुल्लंघ्य पारणं कार्यम् ॥ अथ पारणाकालः । कलामात्राया अपि द्वादश्या अभावे त्रयोदश्यां पारणम् ॥ द्वादश्या मध्याह्नोर्ध्वं सत्त्वे प्रातर्मुहूर्तत्रयमध्य एव पारणं न मध्याह्नादौ इति बहवः ॥ बहूनां कर्मकालानां बाधापत्तेरपराह्ण एवेति केचित् ॥
"When dwadashi is long, the parana is made after its first quarter, called harivasara. If not even a moment of dwadashi remains, the parana is on trayodashi. When dwadashi lasts past midday, the parana is within the three muhurtas of the morning, not at midday, say the many; some say in the afternoon, so that the day's other rites are not obstructed."
The morning window here is those three muhurtas, the first fifth of the day. Where harivasara lasts beyond it, the afternoon window is given, as Drik Panchang prints it.
The day: Dharmasindhu, pariccheda 1, athaikādaśīvratadinanirṇayaḥ, pp. 13–14. The parana: pariccheda 1, atha pāraṇākālaḥ, p. 17, page image. Names, Smarta and Vaishnava days checked against Drik Panchang's Delhi list for 2026 and 2027; 47 of the parana windows checked against its pages, each within a minute.
