Why is Kamada Ekadashi on Tue 27 Mar in Pāthardi?
Kamada Ekadashi is on Tue 27 Mar: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 03:43 to 01:31 Wed.
Ekadashi ended at 01:31; 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 Tue 27 Mar only, at 06:27: Tue 27 Mar. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 03:43, before it (04:51–06:27).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Wed 28 Mar, 06:59–18:42 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 01:31 on Wed 28 Mar to 23:23 on Wed 28 Mar; harivasara ends at 06:59. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:42: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:53.
