Why is Jaya Ekadashi on Mon 17 Feb in Sevan?
Jaya Ekadashi is on Mon 17 Feb: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 02:55 to 04:41 Tue.
Ekadashi ended at 04:41; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 02:55 Mon to 04:41.
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 Mon 17 Feb only, at 07:51: Mon 17 Feb. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 02:55, before it (06:15–07:51).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Tue 18 Feb, 11:13–18:38 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 04:41 on Tue 18 Feb to 06:49 on Wed 19 Feb; harivasara ends at 11:13. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:38: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:59, which here ends before harivasara does.
