Why is Kamada Ekadashi on Wed 4 Apr in Sevan?
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: 22:21 Tue to 19:39.
Ekadashi ended at 19:39 Wed; 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 Wed 4 Apr only, at 07:39: Wed 4 Apr. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 22:21 Tue, before it (06:03–07:39).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Thu 5 Apr, 07:37–16:46
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 19:39 on Wed 4 Apr to 16:46 on Thu 5 Apr; harivasara ends at 00:55. So parana runs from sunrise on Thu 5 Apr, 07:37. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 10:11.
