Why is Jaya Ekadashi on Wed 5 Feb in Sevan?
Jaya Ekadashi is on Wed 5 Feb: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 20:20 Tue to 20:01.
Ekadashi ended at 20:01 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 5 Feb only, at 08:06: Wed 5 Feb. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 20:20 Tue, before it (06:30–08:06).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Thu 6 Feb, 08:05–18:23 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 20:01 on Wed 5 Feb to 18:54 on Thu 6 Feb; harivasara ends at 01:44. So parana runs from sunrise on Thu 6 Feb, 08:05. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:23: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 10:08.
