Why is Kamada Ekadashi on Wed 5 Apr or Thu 6 Apr in Chahārbāgh?

Smarta · For Smartas, Kamada Ekadashi is on Wed 5 Apr: Ekadashi holds sunrise that day. Vaishnavas fast on Thu 6 Apr.

Dashami until 05:46, inside arunodaya; Ekadashi at sunrise. Ekadashi: 05:46 to 02:58 Thu.

Ekadashi ended at 02:58; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 05:46 Wed to 02:58.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC+3:30). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.

Smarta

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Wed 5 Apr only, at 05:47: Wed 5 Apr.

Vaishnava

Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Wed 5 Apr Dashami lasts until 05:46, inside arunodaya (04:11–05:47), so that Ekadashi is pierced. Ekadashi ends at 02:58, so Vaishnavas fast on Thu 6 Apr: Thu 6 Apr.

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Thu 6 Apr, 08:12–18:32 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 02:58 on Thu 6 Apr to 23:52 on Thu 6 Apr; harivasara ends at 08:12. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:32: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:19.

Vaishnava · Fri 7 Apr, 05:44–18:33 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)

Dwadashi ends at 23:52 Thu on Fri 7 Apr, in the night, before arunodaya (04:08): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 05:44, to sunset, 18:33, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.

The rule

Chaitra Shukla Ekadashi

The Ekadashi fast runs from sunrise until parana the next day.

Smarta
Ekadashi at sunrise; over two sunrises the first, or the second when Dwadashi grows too; with none, the day it is current (Nirnayasindhu).
Vaishnava
Ekadashi through arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise, unpierced by Dashami; over two sunrises, the second.
Breaking the fast
on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara).
