Why is Kamada Ekadashi on Tue 24 Apr or Wed 25 Apr in Sevan?
Smarta · For Smartas, Kamada Ekadashi is on Tue 24 Apr: Ekadashi holds no sunrise, and a kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current. Vaishnavas fast on Wed 25 Apr.
Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 07:53. Ekadashi: 07:53 to 05:07 Wed.
Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 05:07; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 07:53 Tue to 05:07.
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 07:53 on Tue 24 Apr, after that sunrise (06:08), and ends at 05:07 on Wed 25 Apr, before the next (06:07 Wed): it holds no sunrise. A kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current: Tue 24 Apr.
Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Tue 24 Apr arunodaya (04:32–06:08) is Dashami. On Wed 25 Apr it holds no Dashami (Ekadashi until 05:07, then Dwadashi): Wed 25 Apr.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Wed 25 Apr, 10:18–19:49 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 05:07 on Wed 25 Apr to 01:52 on Thu 26 Apr; harivasara ends at 10:18. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:49: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:51, which here ends before harivasara does.
Vaishnava · Thu 26 Apr, 06:05–19:50 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 01:52 on Thu 26 Apr, in the night, before arunodaya (04:29): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 06:05, to sunset, 19:50, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.
