Why is Apara Ekadashi on Wed 13 May in Diffa?
Apara Ekadashi is on Wed 13 May: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 10:22.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 10:22 Tue to 09:00.
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 Wed 13 May only, at 05:44: Wed 13 May. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 10:22 Tue, before it (04:08–05:44).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Thu 14 May, 05:44–06:51
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 09:00 on Wed 13 May to 06:51 on Thu 14 May; harivasara ends at 14:28 Wed. So parana runs from sunrise on Thu 14 May, 05:44.
The rule
