Why is Apara Ekadashi on Thu 14 May in Pāthardi?
Apara Ekadashi is on Thu 14 May: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 22:24 Wed to 19:49.
Ekadashi ended at 19:49 Thu; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
One row per day, on one clock (IST). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Thu 14 May only, at 05:55: Thu 14 May. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 22:24 Wed, before it (04:19–05:55).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Fri 15 May, 05:54–17:10
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 19:49 on Thu 14 May to 17:10 on Fri 15 May; harivasara ends at 01:09. So parana runs from sunrise on Fri 15 May, 05:54. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:31.
The rule
