Why is Kamada Ekadashi on Fri 19 Apr in Pāthardi?
Kamada Ekadashi is on Fri 19 Apr: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 17:32 Thu to 20:05.
Ekadashi ended at 20:05 Fri; 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 Fri 19 Apr only, at 06:08: Fri 19 Apr. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 17:32 Thu, before it (04:32–06:08).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sat 20 Apr, 06:08–18:48 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 20:05 on Fri 19 Apr to 22:42 on Sat 20 Apr; harivasara ends at 02:44. So parana runs from sunrise on Sat 20 Apr, 06:08. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:48: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:40.
The rule
