Why is Kamika Ekadashi on Wed 19 Jul or Thu 20 Jul in Sevan?

Smarta · For Smartas, Kamika Ekadashi is on Wed 19 Jul: Ekadashi holds no sunrise, and a kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current. Vaishnavas fast on Thu 20 Jul.

Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 05:55. Ekadashi: 05:55 to 02:57 Thu.

Ekadashi ended at 02:57; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 05:55 Wed to 02:57.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC+4). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.

Smarta

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise. It begins at 05:55 on Wed 19 Jul, after that sunrise (05:45), and ends at 02:57 on Thu 20 Jul, before the next (05:46 Thu): it holds no sunrise. A kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current: Wed 19 Jul.

Vaishnava

Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Wed 19 Jul arunodaya (04:09–05:45) is Dashami. On Thu 20 Jul it holds no Dashami (Ekadashi until 02:57, then Dwadashi): Thu 20 Jul.

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Thu 20 Jul, 08:08–20:25 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 02:57 on Thu 20 Jul to 23:42 on Thu 20 Jul; harivasara ends at 08:08. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 20:25: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:42.

Vaishnava · Fri 21 Jul, 05:47–20:25 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)

Dwadashi ends at 23:42 Thu on Fri 21 Jul, in the night, before arunodaya (04:11): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 05:47, to sunset, 20:25, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.

The rule

Shravana Krishna Ekadashi (purnimanta) · Ashadha Krishna Ekadashi (amanta)

The Ekadashi fast runs from sunrise until parana the next day.

Smarta
Ekadashi at sunrise; over two sunrises the first, or the second when Dwadashi grows too; with none, the day it is current (Nirnayasindhu).
Vaishnava
Ekadashi through arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise, unpierced by Dashami; over two sunrises, the second.
Breaking the fast
on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara).
