Why is Kamada Ekadashi on Tue 8 Apr in Sevan?
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: 18:30 Mon to 19:43.
Ekadashi ended at 19:43 Tue; 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 8 Apr only, at 06:32: Tue 8 Apr. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 18:30 Mon, before it (04:56–06:32).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Wed 9 Apr, 06:30–19:32 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 19:43 on Tue 8 Apr to 21:26 on Wed 9 Apr; harivasara ends at 02:09. So parana runs from sunrise on Wed 9 Apr, 06:30. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:32: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:07.
