Why is Kamada Ekadashi on Fri 14 Apr in Sevan?
Kamada Ekadashi is on Fri 14 Apr: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 02:13 to 00:54 Sat.
Ekadashi ended at 00:54; 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 Fri 14 Apr only, at 07:23: Fri 14 Apr. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 02:13, before it (05:47–07:23).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sat 15 Apr, 07:21–20:39 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 00:54 on Sat 15 Apr to 23:51 on Sat 15 Apr; harivasara ends at 06:38. So parana runs from sunrise on Sat 15 Apr, 07:21. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 20:39: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 10:01.
