Why is Apara Ekadashi on Tue 12 May or Wed 13 May in Davinópolis?

Smarta · For Smartas, Apara Ekadashi is on Tue 12 May: Ekadashi holds no sunrise, and a kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current. Vaishnavas fast on Wed 13 May.

Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 06:22. Ekadashi: 06:22 to 05:00 Wed.

Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 05:00; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 06:22 Tue to 05:00.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC−3). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.

Smarta

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise. It begins at 06:22 on Tue 12 May, after that sunrise (06:09), and ends at 05:00 on Wed 13 May, before the next (06:09 Wed): it holds no sunrise. A kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current: Tue 12 May.

Vaishnava

Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Tue 12 May arunodaya (04:33–06:09) is Dashami. On Wed 13 May it holds no Dashami (Ekadashi until 05:00, then Dwadashi): Wed 13 May.

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Wed 13 May, 10:28–18:02 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 05:00 on Wed 13 May to 02:51 on Thu 14 May; harivasara ends at 10:28. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:02: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:32, which here ends before harivasara does.

Vaishnava · Thu 14 May, 06:09–18:01 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)

Dwadashi ends at 02:51 on Thu 14 May, in the night, before arunodaya (04:33): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 06:09, to sunset, 18:01, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.

The rule

Jyeshtha Krishna Ekadashi (purnimanta) · Vaishakha Krishna Ekadashi (amanta)

The Ekadashi fast runs from sunrise until parana the next day.

Smarta
Ekadashi at sunrise; over two sunrises the first, or the second when Dwadashi grows too; with none, the day it is current (Nirnayasindhu).
Vaishnava
Ekadashi through arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise, unpierced by Dashami; over two sunrises, the second.
Breaking the fast
on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara).
