Why is Apara Ekadashi on Wed 20 May in Sevan?
Apara Ekadashi is on Wed 20 May: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 02:43 to 02:11 Thu.
Ekadashi ended at 02:11; 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 Wed 20 May only, at 06:39: Wed 20 May. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 02:43, before it (05:03–06:39).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Thu 21 May, 07:51–21:15 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 02:11 on Thu 21 May to 00:52 on Fri 22 May; harivasara ends at 07:51. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 21:15: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:33.
