Why is Apara Ekadashi on Wed 16 May in Sevan?
Apara Ekadashi is on Wed 16 May: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 15:59 Tue to 17:51.
Ekadashi ended at 17:51 Wed; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+4). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Wed 16 May only, at 05:42: Wed 16 May. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 15:59 Tue, before it (04:06–05:42).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Thu 17 May, 05:41–20:06
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 17:51 on Wed 16 May to 20:06 on Thu 17 May; harivasara ends at 00:25. So parana runs from sunrise on Thu 17 May, 05:41. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:35.
