Why is Jaya Ekadashi on Mon 14 Feb in Sevan?
Jaya Ekadashi is on Mon 14 Feb: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 00:27 to 23:28.
Ekadashi ended at 23:28 Mon; 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 Mon 14 Feb only, at 07:55: Mon 14 Feb. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 00:27, before it (06:19–07:55).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Tue 15 Feb, 07:54–18:34 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 23:28 on Mon 14 Feb to 21:40 on Tue 15 Feb; harivasara ends at 05:01. So parana runs from sunrise on Tue 15 Feb, 07:54. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:34: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 10:02.
