Why is Apara Ekadashi on Wed 11 May or Thu 12 May in Ipameri?
Smarta · For Smartas, Apara Ekadashi is on Wed 11 May: Ekadashi holds sunrise that day. Vaishnavas fast on Thu 12 May.
Dashami until 04:53, inside arunodaya; Ekadashi at sunrise. Ekadashi: 04:53 to 02:40 Thu.
Ekadashi ended at 02:40; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 04:53 Wed to 02:40.
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 11 May only, at 06:29: Wed 11 May.
Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Wed 11 May Dashami lasts until 04:53, inside arunodaya (04:53–06:29), so that Ekadashi is pierced. Ekadashi ends at 02:40, so Vaishnavas fast on Thu 12 May: Thu 12 May.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Thu 12 May, 08:07–17:48 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 02:40 on Thu 12 May to 00:30 on Fri 13 May; harivasara ends at 08:07. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 17:48: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:45.
Vaishnava · Fri 13 May, 06:29–17:48 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 00:30 on Fri 13 May, in the night, before arunodaya (04:53): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 06:29, to sunset, 17:48, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.
