Why is Amalaki Ekadashi on Thu 18 Mar in Pāthardi?
Amalaki Ekadashi is on Thu 18 Mar: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 04:21 to 01:51 Fri.
Ekadashi ended at 01:51; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
One row per day, on one clock (IST). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Thu 18 Mar only, at 06:35: Thu 18 Mar. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 04:21, before it (04:59–06:35).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Fri 19 Mar, 07:13–18:39 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 01:51 on Fri 19 Mar to 23:17 on Fri 19 Mar; harivasara ends at 07:13. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:39: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:59.
