Why is Mokshada Ekadashi on Sun 23 Dec in Sevan?
Mokshada Ekadashi is on Sun 23 Dec: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 01:19 to 03:49 Mon.
Ekadashi ended at 03:49; 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 Sun 23 Dec only, at 08:20: Sun 23 Dec. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 01:19, before it (06:44–08:20).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Mon 24 Dec, 10:30–17:38 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 03:49 on Mon 24 Dec to 06:32 on Tue 25 Dec; harivasara ends at 10:30. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 17:38: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 10:12, which here ends before harivasara does.
