Why is Kamada Ekadashi on Thu 5 Apr in Sevan?
Kamada Ekadashi is on Thu 5 Apr: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 02:07 to 02:34 Fri.
Ekadashi ended at 02:34; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
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 Thu 5 Apr only, at 07:38: Thu 5 Apr. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 02:07, before it (06:02–07:38).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Fri 6 Apr, 08:48–20:29 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 02:34 on Fri 6 Apr to 03:29 on Sat 7 Apr; harivasara ends at 08:48. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 20:29: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 10:11.
