Why is Kamada Ekadashi on Sat 28 Mar or Sun 29 Mar in Sevan?
Smarta · For Smartas, Kamada Ekadashi is on Sat 28 Mar: Ekadashi holds no sunrise, and a kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current. Vaishnavas fast on Sun 29 Mar.
Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 07:16. Ekadashi: 07:16 to 06:16 Sun.
Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 06:16; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 07:16 Sat to 06:16.
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 begins at 07:16 on Sat 28 Mar, after that sunrise (06:50), and ends at 06:16 on Sun 29 Mar, before the next (06:49 Sun): it holds no sunrise. A kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current: Sat 28 Mar.
Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Sat 28 Mar arunodaya (05:14–06:50) is Dashami. On Sun 29 Mar it holds no Dashami (Ekadashi until 06:16, then Dwadashi): Sun 29 Mar.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Sun 29 Mar, 12:07–19:21 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 06:16 on Sun 29 Mar to 05:40 on Mon 30 Mar; harivasara ends at 12:07. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:21: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:19, which here ends before harivasara does.
Vaishnava · Mon 30 Mar, 05:11–05:40 (from arunodaya, Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 05:40 on Mon 30 Mar, after arunodaya begins (05:11) and before sunrise (06:47). When Dwadashi is short, the Nirnayasindhu, citing the Matsya, brings parana forward to dawn, before Dwadashi ends. Tithika starts it at arunodaya: Tithika’s convention.
