Why is Kamada Ekadashi on Thu 1 Apr in Sevan?
Kamada Ekadashi is on Thu 1 Apr: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 20:49 Wed to 21:13.
Ekadashi ended at 21:13 Thu; 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 Thu 1 Apr only, at 07:43: Thu 1 Apr. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 20:49 Wed, before it (06:07–07:43).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Fri 2 Apr, 07:41–20:25 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 21:13 on Thu 1 Apr to 20:52 on Fri 2 Apr; harivasara ends at 03:08. So parana runs from sunrise on Fri 2 Apr, 07:41. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 20:25: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 10:14.
