Why is Kamika Ekadashi on Thu 29 Jul or Fri 30 Jul in Sevan?
Smarta · For Smartas, Kamika Ekadashi is on Thu 29 Jul: Ekadashi holds no sunrise, and a kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current. Vaishnavas fast on Fri 30 Jul.
Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 06:04. Ekadashi: 06:04 to 03:43 Fri.
Ekadashi ended at 03:43; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 06:04 Thu to 03:43.
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 begins at 06:04 on Thu 29 Jul, after that sunrise (05:53), and ends at 03:43 on Fri 30 Jul, before the next (05:54 Fri): it holds no sunrise. A kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current: Thu 29 Jul.
Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Thu 29 Jul arunodaya (04:17–05:53) is Dashami. On Fri 30 Jul it holds no Dashami (Ekadashi until 03:43, then Dwadashi): Fri 30 Jul.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Fri 30 Jul, 08:59–20:17 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 03:43 on Fri 30 Jul to 00:48 on Sat 31 Jul; harivasara ends at 08:59. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 20:17: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:47, which here ends before harivasara does.
Vaishnava · Sat 31 Jul, 05:55–20:16 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 00:48 on Sat 31 Jul, in the night, before arunodaya (04:19): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 05:55, to sunset, 20:16, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.
