Why is Kamada Ekadashi on Tue 8 Apr in Pāthardi?
Kamada Ekadashi is on Tue 8 Apr: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 20:00 Mon to 21:13.
Ekadashi ended at 21:13 Tue; 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 8 Apr only, at 06:17: Tue 8 Apr. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 20:00 Mon, before it (04:41–06:17).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Wed 9 Apr, 06:16–18:45 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 21:13 on Tue 8 Apr to 22:56 on Wed 9 Apr; harivasara ends at 03:39. So parana runs from sunrise on Wed 9 Apr, 06:16. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:45: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:46.
The rule
