Why is Kamada Ekadashi on Tue 14 Apr in Sevan?
Kamada Ekadashi is on Tue 14 Apr: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 04:18 to 05:22 Wed.
Ekadashi ended at 05:22; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 04:18 Tue to 05:22.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+5). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Tue 14 Apr only, at 07:23: Tue 14 Apr. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 04:18, before it (05:47–07:23).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Wed 15 Apr, 11:44–20:38 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 05:22 on Wed 15 Apr to 06:51 on Thu 16 Apr; harivasara ends at 11:44. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 20:38: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 10:01, which here ends before harivasara does.
