Why is Apara Ekadashi on Mon 26 May in Sevan?

Apara Ekadashi is on Mon 26 May: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.

Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 21:02 Sun to 23:19.

Ekadashi ended at 23:19 Mon; arunodaya is Dwadashi.

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

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Mon 26 May only, at 06:35: Mon 26 May. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 21:02 Sun, before it (04:59–06:35).

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Vaishnava · Tue 27 May, 06:34–21:19 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 23:19 on Mon 26 May to 01:51 on Wed 28 May; harivasara ends at 05:57. So parana runs from sunrise on Tue 27 May, 06:34. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 21:19: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:31.

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).
