Why is Kamada Ekadashi on Sat 4 Apr in Sevan?
Kamada Ekadashi is on Sat 4 Apr: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 23:28 Fri to 21:00.
Ekadashi ended at 21:00 Sat; 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 Sat 4 Apr only, at 06:38: Sat 4 Apr. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 23:28 Fri, before it (05:02–06:38).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sun 5 Apr, 06:36–17:55
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 21:00 on Sat 4 Apr to 17:55 on Sun 5 Apr; harivasara ends at 02:14. So parana runs from sunrise on Sun 5 Apr, 06:36. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:11.
