Why is Amalaki Ekadashi on Tue 7 Mar in Pāthardi?
Amalaki Ekadashi is on Tue 7 Mar: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 23:01 Mon to 20:30.
Ekadashi ended at 20:30 Tue; 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 Tue 7 Mar only, at 06:43: Tue 7 Mar. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 23:01 Mon, before it (05:07–06:43).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Wed 8 Mar, 06:43–17:27
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 20:30 on Tue 7 Mar to 17:27 on Wed 8 Mar; harivasara ends at 01:44. So parana runs from sunrise on Wed 8 Mar, 06:43. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:05.
The rule
