Why is Apara Ekadashi on Tue 12 May or Wed 13 May in Ipameri?
Smarta · For Smartas, Apara Ekadashi is on Tue 12 May: Ekadashi holds sunrise that day. Vaishnavas fast on Wed 13 May.
Dashami until 06:22, inside arunodaya; Ekadashi at sunrise. 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.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Tue 12 May only, at 06:29: Tue 12 May.
Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Tue 12 May Dashami lasts until 06:22, inside arunodaya (04:53–06:29), so that Ekadashi is pierced. Ekadashi ends at 05:00, so Vaishnavas fast on Wed 13 May: Wed 13 May.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Wed 13 May, 10:28–17:48 (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, 17:48: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:45, which here ends before harivasara does.
Vaishnava · Thu 14 May, 06:30–17:47 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 02:51 on Thu 14 May, in the night, before arunodaya (04:54): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 06:30, to sunset, 17:47, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.
The rule

- Breaking the fast
- on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara).
