Why is Kamika Ekadashi on Thu 23 Jul or Fri 24 Jul in Pāthardi?
Smarta · For Smartas, Kamika Ekadashi is on Thu 23 Jul: Ekadashi holds sunrise that day. Vaishnavas fast on Fri 24 Jul.
Dashami until 04:41, inside arunodaya; Ekadashi at sunrise. Ekadashi: 04:41 to 05:27 Fri.
Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 05:27; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 04:41 Thu to 05:27.
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 23 Jul only, at 06:02: Thu 23 Jul.
Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Thu 23 Jul Dashami lasts until 04:41, inside arunodaya (04:26–06:02), so that Ekadashi is pierced. Ekadashi ends at 05:27, so Vaishnavas fast on Fri 24 Jul: Fri 24 Jul.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Fri 24 Jul, 11:46–19:08 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 05:27 on Fri 24 Jul to 06:44 on Sat 25 Jul; harivasara ends at 11:46. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:08: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:39, which here ends before harivasara does.
Vaishnava · Sat 25 Jul, 06:02–06:44
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 05:27 on Fri 24 Jul to 06:44 on Sat 25 Jul; harivasara ends at 11:46 Fri. So parana runs from sunrise on Sat 25 Jul, 06:02.
