Why is Jaya Ekadashi on Sat 23 Feb in Sevan?
Jaya Ekadashi is on Sat 23 Feb: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 03:38 to 02:01 Sun.
Ekadashi ended at 02:01; 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 Sat 23 Feb only, at 07:43: Sat 23 Feb. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 03:38, before it (06:07–07:43).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sun 24 Feb, 07:41–18:45 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 02:01 on Sun 24 Feb to 23:38 on Sun 24 Feb; harivasara ends at 07:25. So parana runs from sunrise on Sun 24 Feb, 07:41. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:45: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:54.
