Why is Mokshada Ekadashi on Sat 10 Dec in Sevan?
Mokshada Ekadashi is on Sat 10 Dec: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 20:58 Fri to 18:14.
Ekadashi ended at 18:14 Sat; 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 Sat 10 Dec only, at 08:12: Sat 10 Dec. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 20:58 Fri, before it (06:36–08:12).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sun 11 Dec, 08:13–15:01
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 18:14 on Sat 10 Dec to 15:01 on Sun 11 Dec; harivasara ends at 23:26 Sat. So parana runs from sunrise on Sun 11 Dec, 08:13. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 10:05.
The rule
