Ekadashi in Suva: the numbers
Why Suva dates can differ from India
Ekadashi is the day on which the 11th tithi is in force at your own sunrise. Sunrise in Suva 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, 1:46 PM → Nov 21, 1:02 PM in Suva 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 Suva: Hari Vasara ends Oct 23, 3:16 AM, Dwadashi ends Oct 23, 9:06 PM, so parana is Fri, Oct 23 5:33 AM – 8:04 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 Suva that happens 3 times in the next 12 months: Mokshada Ekadashi (Mon, Dec 21), Amalaki Ekadashi (Fri, Mar 19), Indira Ekadashi (Mon, Sep 27).
