Why is Kamada Ekadashi on Tue 14 Apr or Wed 15 Apr in Pāthardi?

Smarta · For Smartas, Kamada Ekadashi is on Tue 14 Apr: Ekadashi holds sunrise that day. Vaishnavas fast on Wed 15 Apr.

Dashami until 04:48, inside arunodaya; Ekadashi at sunrise. Ekadashi: 04:48 to 05:52 Wed.

Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 05:52; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 04:48 Tue to 05:52.

One row per day, on one clock (IST). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.

Smarta

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Tue 14 Apr only, at 06:12: Tue 14 Apr.

Vaishnava

Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Tue 14 Apr Dashami lasts until 04:48, inside arunodaya (04:36–06:12), so that Ekadashi is pierced. Ekadashi ends at 05:52, so Vaishnavas fast on Wed 15 Apr: Wed 15 Apr.

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Wed 15 Apr, 12:14–18:46 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 05:52 on Wed 15 Apr to 07:21 on Thu 16 Apr; harivasara ends at 12:14. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:46: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:43, which here ends before harivasara does.

Vaishnava · Thu 16 Apr, 06:11–07:21

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 05:52 on Wed 15 Apr to 07:21 on Thu 16 Apr; harivasara ends at 12:14 Wed. So parana runs from sunrise on Thu 16 Apr, 06:11.

The rule

Chaitra Shukla Ekadashi

The Ekadashi fast runs from sunrise until parana the next day.

Smarta
Ekadashi at sunrise; over two sunrises the first, or the second when Dwadashi grows too; with none, the day it is current (Nirnayasindhu).
Vaishnava
Ekadashi through arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise, unpierced by Dashami; over two sunrises, the second.
Breaking the fast
on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara).
