Why is Kamada Ekadashi on Tue 10 Apr in Sevan?
Kamada Ekadashi is on Tue 10 Apr: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 16:39 Mon to 19:06.
Ekadashi ended at 19:06 Tue; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+3). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Tue 10 Apr only, at 05:28: Tue 10 Apr. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 16:39 Mon, before it (03:52–05:28).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Wed 11 Apr, 05:28–18:34 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 19:06 on Tue 10 Apr to 21:34 on Wed 11 Apr; harivasara ends at 01:43. So parana runs from sunrise on Wed 11 Apr, 05:26. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:32: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:03.
