Why is Kamada Ekadashi on Fri 18 Apr in Pāthardi?
Kamada Ekadashi is on Fri 18 Apr: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 16:21 Thu to 18:56.
Ekadashi ended at 18:56 Fri; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
One row per day, on one clock (IST). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Fri 18 Apr only, at 06:09: Fri 18 Apr. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 16:21 Thu, before it (04:33–06:09).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sat 19 Apr, 06:09–18:47 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 18:56 on Fri 18 Apr to 21:20 on Sat 19 Apr; harivasara ends at 01:32. So parana runs from sunrise on Sat 19 Apr, 06:09. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:47: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:40.
The rule
