Why is Kamada Ekadashi on Tue 23 Apr in Pāthardi?
Kamada Ekadashi is on Tue 23 Apr: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 01:12 to 22:15.
Ekadashi ended at 22:15 Tue; 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 Tue 23 Apr only, at 06:06: Tue 23 Apr. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 01:12, before it (04:30–06:06).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Wed 24 Apr, 06:05–18:49 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 22:15 on Tue 23 Apr to 18:57 on Wed 24 Apr; harivasara ends at 03:26. So parana runs from sunrise on Wed 24 Apr, 06:05. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:49: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:38.
The rule
Chaitra Shukla Ekadashi
The Ekadashi fast runs from sunrise until parana the next day.
