Why is Apara Ekadashi on Fri 11 May in Pāthardi?
Apara Ekadashi is on Fri 11 May: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 23:28 Thu to 23:41.
Ekadashi ended at 23:41 Fri; 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 Fri 11 May only, at 05:56: Fri 11 May. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 23:28 Thu, before it (04:20–05:56).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sat 12 May, 05:55–18:55 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 23:41 on Fri 11 May to 23:06 on Sat 12 May; harivasara ends at 05:33. So parana runs from sunrise on Sat 12 May, 05:55. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:55: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:31.
