Why is Kamada Ekadashi on Thu 3 Apr in Pāthardi?
Kamada Ekadashi is on Thu 3 Apr: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 23:24 Wed to 00:36 Fri.
Ekadashi ended at 00:36; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
One row per day, on one clock (IST). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Thu 3 Apr only, at 06:21: Thu 3 Apr. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 23:24 Wed, before it (04:45–06:21).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Fri 4 Apr, 06:43–18:43 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 00:36 on Fri 4 Apr to 01:07 on Sat 5 Apr; harivasara ends at 06:43. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:43: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:49.
