Why is Apara Ekadashi on Sat 5 Jun in Diffa?
Apara Ekadashi is on Sat 5 Jun: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 23:37 Fri to 01:49 Sun.
Ekadashi ended at 01:49; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+1). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Sat 5 Jun only, at 05:41: Sat 5 Jun. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 23:37 Fri, before it (04:05–05:41).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sun 6 Jun, 08:27–18:34 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 01:49 on Sun 6 Jun to 04:18 on Mon 7 Jun; harivasara ends at 08:27. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:34: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:16, which here ends before harivasara does.
