Why is Apara Ekadashi on Wed 16 May or Thu 17 May in Ipameri?
Smarta · For Smartas, Apara Ekadashi is on Wed 16 May: Ekadashi holds sunrise that day. Vaishnavas fast on Thu 17 May.
Dashami until 05:21, inside arunodaya; Ekadashi at sunrise. Ekadashi: 05:21 to 03:18 Thu.
Ekadashi ended at 03:18; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 05:21 Wed to 03:18.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−3). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Wed 16 May only, at 06:30: Wed 16 May.
Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Wed 16 May Dashami lasts until 05:21, inside arunodaya (04:54–06:30), so that Ekadashi is pierced. Ekadashi ends at 03:18, so Vaishnavas fast on Thu 17 May: Thu 17 May.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Thu 17 May, 08:50–17:47 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 03:18 on Thu 17 May to 01:25 on Fri 18 May; harivasara ends at 08:50. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 17:47: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:46, which here ends before harivasara does.
Vaishnava · Fri 18 May, 06:31–17:46 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 01:25 on Fri 18 May, in the night, before arunodaya (04:55): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 06:31, to sunset, 17:46, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.
The rule

- Breaking the fast
- on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara).
