Why is Kamada Ekadashi on Sat 1 Apr in Sevan?
Kamada Ekadashi is on Sat 1 Apr: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 00:29 to 02:50 Sun.
Ekadashi ended at 02:50; 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 1 Apr only, at 06:44: Sat 1 Apr. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 00:29, before it (05:08–06:44).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sun 2 Apr, 09:21–19:25 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 02:50 on Sun 2 Apr to 04:54 on Mon 3 Apr; harivasara ends at 09:21. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:25: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:15, which here ends before harivasara does.
