Why is Amalaki Ekadashi on Fri 27 Feb in Sevan?
Amalaki Ekadashi is on Fri 27 Feb: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 23:03 Thu to 21:03.
Ekadashi ended at 21:03 Fri; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+4). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Fri 27 Feb only, at 07:37: Fri 27 Feb. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 23:03 Thu, before it (06:01–07:37).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sat 28 Feb, 07:35–18:50 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 21:03 on Fri 27 Feb to 19:13 on Sat 28 Feb; harivasara ends at 02:35. So parana runs from sunrise on Sat 28 Feb, 07:35. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:50: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:50.
