Why is Kamada Ekadashi on Thu 3 Apr in Sevan?
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: 21:54 Wed to 23:06.
Ekadashi ended at 23:06 Thu; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
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 holds sunrise on Thu 3 Apr only, at 06:41: Thu 3 Apr. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 21:54 Wed, before it (05:05–06:41).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Fri 4 Apr, 06:39–19:27 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 23:06 on Thu 3 Apr to 23:37 on Fri 4 Apr; harivasara ends at 05:13. So parana runs from sunrise on Fri 4 Apr, 06:39. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:27: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:13.
