Why is Kamada Ekadashi on Sun 17 Apr in Sevan?
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: 21:48 Sat to 23:36.
Ekadashi ended at 23:36 Sun; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
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 Sun 17 Apr only, at 06:18: Sun 17 Apr. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 21:48 Sat, before it (04:42–06:18).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Mon 18 Apr, 06:16–19:42 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 23:36 on Sun 17 Apr to 01:49 on Tue 19 Apr; harivasara ends at 06:09. So parana runs from sunrise on Mon 18 Apr, 06:16. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:42: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:57.
