Why is Apara Ekadashi on Wed 24 May in Sevan?

Apara Ekadashi is on Wed 24 May: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.

Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 03:44 to 04:55 Thu.

Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 04:55; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 03:44 Wed to 04:55.

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 24 May only, at 05:36: Wed 24 May. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 03:44, before it (04:00–05:36).

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Vaishnava · Thu 25 May, 11:21–20:18 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 04:55 on Thu 25 May to 06:36 on Fri 26 May; harivasara ends at 11:21. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 20:18: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:32, which here ends before harivasara does.

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).
