Why is Apara Ekadashi on Mon 29 May or Tue 30 May in Sevan?

Smarta · For Smartas, Apara Ekadashi is on Mon 29 May: Ekadashi holds sunrise that day. Vaishnavas fast on Tue 30 May.

Dashami until 05:33, inside arunodaya; Ekadashi at sunrise. Ekadashi: 05:33 to 04:20 Tue.

Ekadashi ended at 04:20; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 05:33 Mon to 04:20.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC+5). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.

Smarta

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Mon 29 May only, at 06:33: Mon 29 May.

Vaishnava

Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Mon 29 May Dashami lasts until 05:33, inside arunodaya (04:57–06:33), so that Ekadashi is pierced. Ekadashi ends at 04:20, so Vaishnavas fast on Tue 30 May: Tue 30 May.

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Tue 30 May, 09:51–21:22 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 04:20 on Tue 30 May to 02:22 on Wed 31 May; harivasara ends at 09:51. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 21:22: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:30, which here ends before harivasara does.

Vaishnava · Wed 31 May, 06:32–21:23 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)

Dwadashi ends at 02:22 on Wed 31 May, in the night, before arunodaya (04:56): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 06:32, to sunset, 21:23, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.

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).
