Why is Amalaki Ekadashi on Thu 18 Mar in Sevan?
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: 02:51 to 00:21 Fri.
Ekadashi ended at 00:21; 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 Thu 18 Mar only, at 07:07: Thu 18 Mar. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 02:51, before it (05:31–07:07).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Fri 19 Mar, 07:05–19:10 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 00:21 on Fri 19 Mar to 21:47 on Fri 19 Mar; harivasara ends at 05:43. So parana runs from sunrise on Fri 19 Mar, 07:05. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:10: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:30.
