Why is Kamada Ekadashi on Sun 17 Apr in Pāthardi?
Kamada Ekadashi is on Sun 17 Apr: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 23:18 Sat to 01:06 Mon.
Ekadashi ended at 01:06; 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 Sun 17 Apr only, at 06:10: Sun 17 Apr. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 23:18 Sat, before it (04:34–06:10).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Mon 18 Apr, 07:39–18:47 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 01:06 on Mon 18 Apr to 03:19 on Tue 19 Apr; harivasara ends at 07:39. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:47: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:41.
