Why is Kamada Ekadashi on Tue 23 Apr in Sevan?
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: 00:42 to 21:45.
Ekadashi ended at 21:45 Tue; 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 Tue 23 Apr only, at 07:10: Tue 23 Apr. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 00:42, before it (05:34–07:10).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Wed 24 Apr, 07:09–18:27
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 21:45 on Tue 23 Apr to 18:27 on Wed 24 Apr; harivasara ends at 02:56. So parana runs from sunrise on Wed 24 Apr, 07:09. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:52.
The rule
