Why is Apara Ekadashi on Wed 22 May in Sevan?
Apara Ekadashi is on Wed 22 May: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 23:47 Tue to 01:40 Thu.
Ekadashi ended at 01:40; 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 Wed 22 May only, at 05:37: Wed 22 May. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 23:47 Tue, before it (04:01–05:37).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Thu 23 May, 08:14–20:16 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 01:40 on Thu 23 May to 03:56 on Fri 24 May; harivasara ends at 08:14. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 20:16: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:32.
