Why is Apara Ekadashi on Fri 14 May in Sevan?
Apara Ekadashi is on Fri 14 May: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 02:43 to 03:14 Sat.
Ekadashi ended at 03:14; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 02:43 Fri to 03:14.
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 Fri 14 May only, at 06:44: Fri 14 May. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 02:43, before it (05:08–06:44).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sat 15 May, 09:30–21:09 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 03:14 on Sat 15 May to 04:17 on Sun 16 May; harivasara ends at 09:30. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 21:09: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:36.
