Why is Kamada Ekadashi on Wed 4 Apr in Pāthardi?
Kamada Ekadashi is on Wed 4 Apr: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 22:51 Tue to 20:09.
Ekadashi ended at 20:09 Wed; 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 Wed 4 Apr only, at 06:20: Wed 4 Apr. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 22:51 Tue, before it (04:44–06:20).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Thu 5 Apr, 06:20–17:16
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 20:09 on Wed 4 Apr to 17:16 on Thu 5 Apr; harivasara ends at 01:25. So parana runs from sunrise on Thu 5 Apr, 06:20. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:48.
The rule
Chaitra Shukla Ekadashi
The Ekadashi fast runs from sunrise until parana the next day.
