Why is Kamada Ekadashi on Tue 27 Mar in Sevan?
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: 02:13 to 00:01 Wed.
Ekadashi ended at 00:01; 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 Tue 27 Mar only, at 06:52: Tue 27 Mar. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 02:13, before it (05:16–06:52).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Wed 28 Mar, 06:50–19:20 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 00:01 on Wed 28 Mar to 21:53 on Wed 28 Mar; harivasara ends at 05:29. So parana runs from sunrise on Wed 28 Mar, 06:50. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:20: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:20.
