Why is Kamada Ekadashi on Mon 30 Mar in Sevan?
Kamada Ekadashi is on Mon 30 Mar: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 03:40 to 06:03 Tue.
Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 06:03; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 03:40 Mon to 06:03.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+4). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Mon 30 Mar only, at 06:47: Mon 30 Mar. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 03:40, before it (05:11–06:47).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Tue 31 Mar, 12:42–19:22 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 06:03 on Tue 31 Mar to 08:39 on Wed 1 Apr; harivasara ends at 12:42. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:22: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:17, which here ends before harivasara does.
