Why is Apara Ekadashi on Fri 23 May in Sevan?
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: 23:42 Thu to 21:00.
Ekadashi ended at 21:00 Fri; 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 Fri 23 May only, at 05:36: Fri 23 May. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 23:42 Thu, before it (04:00–05:36).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sat 24 May, 05:36–17:50
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 21:00 on Fri 23 May to 17:50 on Sat 24 May; harivasara ends at 02:12. So parana runs from sunrise on Sat 24 May, 05:36. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:32.
