Why Auckland dates can differ from India

Ekadashi is the day on which the 11th tithi is in force at your own sunrise. Sunrise in Auckland comes about 7 hours after sunrise in Hyderabad, so the same tithi can be running at sunrise here on the day before it reaches sunrise in India, or start too late for one sunrise and catch the next.

Example: Devutthana Ekadashi. The Ekadashi tithi runs Nov 20, 2:46 PM → Nov 21, 2:02 PM in Auckland time, so the fast is on Sat, Nov 21 here; in India it is on Fri, Nov 20.

How the parana time is set

The fast is broken on Dwadashi, after sunrise, once Hari Vasara (the first quarter of Dwadashi) is over and before Dwadashi ends. For Papankusha Ekadashi in Auckland: Hari Vasara ends Oct 23, 4:16 AM, Dwadashi ends Oct 23, 10:06 PM, so parana is Fri, Oct 23 6:27 AM – 9:06 AM.

Smarta and Vaishnava Ekadashi

The dates above are Smarta. Vaishnava (ISKCON) practice moves the fast to the next day when Dashami is still running at dawn (Arunodaya, 96 minutes before sunrise). In Auckland that happens 3 times in the next 12 months: Mokshada Ekadashi (Mon, Dec 21), Amalaki Ekadashi (Fri, Mar 19), Indira Ekadashi (Mon, Sep 27).
