Why is Apara Ekadashi on Sat 20 May in Diffa?
Apara Ekadashi is on Sat 20 May: Ekadashi and Dwadashi both grow, so Smartas take the later day, and its arunodaya is free of Dashami.
Dashami until 05:41, inside arunodaya; Ekadashi at sunrise. Ekadashi: 05:41 to 07:31 Sat.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 05:41 Fri to 07:31.
Dwadashi: 07:31 Sat to 08:49, longer than its day: it grows too.
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 both sunrises, 05:42 on Fri 19 May and 05:42 on Sat 20 May. Ekadashi (05:41 Fri 19 May to 07:31 Sat 20 May) and Dwadashi (07:31 Sat 20 May to 08:49 Sun 21 May) are both longer than their day; when both grow, Smartas take the later day: Sat 20 May. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: on Fri 19 May Dashami lasts until 05:41, inside it (04:06–05:42); on Sat 20 May Ekadashi holds all of it.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sun 21 May, 05:42–08:49
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 07:31 on Sat 20 May to 08:49 on Sun 21 May; harivasara ends at 13:51 Sat. So parana runs from sunrise on Sun 21 May, 05:42.
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).
