Why is Jaya Ekadashi on Wed 4 Feb in Sevan?

Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 12:52 Tue to 15:29.

Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Thu 5 Feb, 07:06–17:22 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 15:29 on Wed 4 Feb to 18:09 on Thu 5 Feb; harivasara ends at 22:09 Wed. So parana runs from sunrise on Thu 5 Feb, 07:06. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 17:22: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:09.
