Why is Apara Ekadashi on Tue 24 May or Wed 25 May in Sevan?
Smarta · For Smartas, Apara Ekadashi is on Tue 24 May: Ekadashi holds sunrise that day. Vaishnavas fast on Wed 25 May.
Dashami until 04:47, inside arunodaya; Ekadashi at sunrise. Ekadashi: 04:47 to 02:09 Wed.
Ekadashi ended at 02:09; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 04:47 Tue to 02:09.
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 Tue 24 May only, at 05:36: Tue 24 May.
Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Tue 24 May Dashami lasts until 04:47, inside arunodaya (04:00–05:36), so that Ekadashi is pierced. Ekadashi ends at 02:09, so Vaishnavas fast on Wed 25 May: Wed 25 May.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Wed 25 May, 07:28–20:18 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 02:09 on Wed 25 May to 23:24 on Wed 25 May; harivasara ends at 07:28. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 20:18: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:32.
Vaishnava · Thu 26 May, 05:34–20:19 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 23:24 Wed on Thu 26 May, in the night, before arunodaya (03:58): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 05:34, to sunset, 20:19, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.
