Why is Apara Ekadashi on Fri 12 May in Sevan?
Apara Ekadashi is on Fri 12 May: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 15:55 Thu to 17:55.
Ekadashi ended at 17:55 Fri; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
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 Fri 12 May only, at 04:47: Fri 12 May. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 15:55 Thu, before it (03:11–04:47).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sat 13 May, 04:46–19:06 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 17:55 on Fri 12 May to 20:16 on Sat 13 May; harivasara ends at 00:30. So parana runs from sunrise on Sat 13 May, 04:46. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:06: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 07:38.
