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

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

Dashami until 06:16, inside arunodaya; Ekadashi at sunrise. Ekadashi: 06:16 to 03:28 Thu.

Ekadashi ended at 03:28; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 06:16 Wed to 03:28.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC+4). 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 06:36: Wed 5 Apr.

Vaishnava

Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Wed 5 Apr Dashami lasts until 06:16, inside arunodaya (05:00–06:36), so that Ekadashi is pierced. Ekadashi ends at 03:28, so Vaishnavas fast on Thu 6 Apr: Thu 6 Apr.

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Thu 6 Apr, 08:42–19:30 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 03:28 on Thu 6 Apr to 00:22 on Fri 7 Apr; harivasara ends at 08:42. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:30: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:10.

Vaishnava · Fri 7 Apr, 06:33–19:31 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)

Dwadashi ends at 00:22 on Fri 7 Apr, in the night, before arunodaya (04:57): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 06:33, to sunset, 19:31, 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).
