Why is Apara Ekadashi on Fri 23 May in Chahārbāgh?
Apara Ekadashi is on Fri 23 May: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 23:12 Thu to 20:30.
Ekadashi ended at 20:30 Fri; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+3:30). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Fri 23 May only, at 04:56: Fri 23 May. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 23:12 Thu, before it (03:20–04:56).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sat 24 May, 04:55–17:20
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 20:30 on Fri 23 May to 17:20 on Sat 24 May; harivasara ends at 01:42. So parana runs from sunrise on Sat 24 May, 04:55. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 07:46.
