Why is Apara Ekadashi on Wed 18 May in Sevan?

Apara Ekadashi is on Wed 18 May: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.

Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 19:47 Tue to 21:00.

Ekadashi ended at 21:00 Wed; arunodaya is Dwadashi.

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 Wed 18 May only, at 05:41: Wed 18 May. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 19:47 Tue, before it (04:05–05:41).

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Vaishnava · Thu 19 May, 05:40–20:13 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 21:00 on Wed 18 May to 22:42 on Thu 19 May; harivasara ends at 03:26. So parana runs from sunrise on Thu 19 May, 05:40. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 20:13: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:34.

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).
