Why is Kamada Ekadashi on Fri 16 Apr in Davinópolis?
Kamada Ekadashi is on Fri 16 Apr: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 02:52 to 00:58 Sat.
Ekadashi ended at 00:58; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−3). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Fri 16 Apr only, at 06:10: Fri 16 Apr. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 02:52, before it (04:34–06:10).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sat 17 Apr, 06:31–18:08 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 00:58 on Sat 17 Apr to 23:12 on Sat 17 Apr; harivasara ends at 06:31. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:08: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:33.
