Why is Apara Ekadashi on Sat 28 May in Sevan?
Apara Ekadashi is on Sat 28 May: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 17:31 Fri to 19:52.
Ekadashi ended at 19:52 Sat; 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 Sat 28 May only, at 06:34: Sat 28 May. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 17:31 Fri, before it (04:58–06:34).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sun 29 May, 06:33–21:21 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 19:52 on Sat 28 May to 22:00 on Sun 29 May; harivasara ends at 02:24. So parana runs from sunrise on Sun 29 May, 06:33. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 21:21: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:31.
