Why is Apara Ekadashi on Fri 23 May in Pāthardi?
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: 01:12 to 22:30.
Ekadashi ended at 22:30 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 23 May only, at 05:52: Fri 23 May. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 01:12, before it (04:16–05:52).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sat 24 May, 05:51–19:00 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 22:30 on Fri 23 May to 19:20 on Sat 24 May; harivasara ends at 03:42. So parana runs from sunrise on Sat 24 May, 05:51. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:00: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:29.
