Why is Apara Ekadashi on Thu 14 May in Sevan?
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: 20:54 Wed to 18:19.
Ekadashi ended at 18:19 Thu; 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 Thu 14 May only, at 05:45: Thu 14 May. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 20:54 Wed, before it (04:09–05:45).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Fri 15 May, 05:44–15:40
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 18:19 on Thu 14 May to 15:40 on Fri 15 May; harivasara ends at 23:39 Thu. So parana runs from sunrise on Fri 15 May, 05:44. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:37.
