Why is Apara Ekadashi on Thu 24 May or Fri 25 May in Sevan?

Smarta · For Smartas, Apara Ekadashi is on Thu 24 May: Ekadashi holds no sunrise, and a kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current. Vaishnavas fast on Fri 25 May.

Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 05:24. Ekadashi: 05:24 to 02:48 Fri.

Ekadashi ended at 02:48; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 05:24 Thu to 02:48.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC+3). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.

Smarta

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise. It begins at 05:24 on Thu 24 May, after that sunrise (04:34), and ends at 02:48 on Fri 25 May, before the next (04:33 Fri): it holds no sunrise. A kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current: Thu 24 May.

Vaishnava

Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Thu 24 May arunodaya (02:58–04:34) is Dashami. On Fri 25 May it holds no Dashami (Ekadashi until 02:48, then Dwadashi): Fri 25 May.

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Fri 25 May, 08:11–19:18 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 02:48 on Fri 25 May to 00:14 on Sat 26 May; harivasara ends at 08:09. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:16: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 07:30, which here ends before harivasara does.

Vaishnava · Sat 26 May, 04:35–19:18 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)

Dwadashi ends at 00:14 on Sat 26 May, in the night, before arunodaya (02:57): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 04:33, to sunset, 19:16, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.

The rule

Jyeshtha Krishna Ekadashi (purnimanta) · Vaishakha Krishna Ekadashi (amanta)

The Ekadashi fast runs from sunrise until parana the next day.

Smarta
Ekadashi at sunrise; over two sunrises the first, or the second when Dwadashi grows too; with none, the day it is current (Nirnayasindhu).
Vaishnava
Ekadashi through arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise, unpierced by Dashami; over two sunrises, the second.
Breaking the fast
on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara).
