Why is Apara Ekadashi on Sat 24 May in Sevan?
Apara Ekadashi is on Sat 24 May: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 00:38 to 23:29.
Ekadashi ended at 23:29 Sat; 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 Sat 24 May only, at 05:36: Sat 24 May. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 00:38, before it (04:00–05:36).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sun 25 May, 05:35–20:18 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 23:29 on Sat 24 May to 22:41 on Sun 25 May; harivasara ends at 05:17. So parana runs from sunrise on Sun 25 May, 05:35. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 20:18: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:32.
