Why is Mokshada Ekadashi on Thu 7 Dec in Sevan?
Mokshada Ekadashi is on Thu 7 Dec: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 22:16 Wed to 21:46.
Ekadashi ended at 21:46 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 7 Dec only, at 08:09: Thu 7 Dec. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 22:16 Wed, before it (06:33–08:09).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Fri 8 Dec, 08:10–17:33 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 21:46 on Thu 7 Dec to 20:29 on Fri 8 Dec; harivasara ends at 03:27. So parana runs from sunrise on Fri 8 Dec, 08:10. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 17:33: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 10:03.
