Why is Apara Ekadashi on Mon 29 May or Tue 30 May in Pāthardi?
Smarta · For Smartas, Apara Ekadashi is on Mon 29 May: Ekadashi holds no sunrise, and a kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current. Vaishnavas fast on Tue 30 May.
Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 06:03. Ekadashi: 06:03 to 04:50 Tue.
Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 04:50; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 06:03 Mon to 04:50.
One row per day, on one clock (IST). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise. It begins at 06:03 on Mon 29 May, after that sunrise (05:50), and ends at 04:50 on Tue 30 May, before the next (05:50 Tue): it holds no sunrise. A kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current: Mon 29 May.
Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Mon 29 May arunodaya (04:14–05:50) is Dashami. On Tue 30 May it holds no Dashami (Ekadashi until 04:50, then Dwadashi): Tue 30 May.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Tue 30 May, 10:21–19:02 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 04:50 on Tue 30 May to 02:52 on Wed 31 May; harivasara ends at 10:21. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:02: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:29, which here ends before harivasara does.
Vaishnava · Wed 31 May, 05:50–19:03 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 02:52 on Wed 31 May, in the night, before arunodaya (04:14): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 05:50, to sunset, 19:03, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.
