Why is Mokshada Ekadashi on Tue 18 Dec in Sevan?
Mokshada Ekadashi is on Tue 18 Dec: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 06:27 to 06:05 Wed.
Ekadashi ended at 06:05; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 06:27 Tue to 06:05.
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 Tue 18 Dec only, at 08:17: Tue 18 Dec. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 06:27, before it (06:41–08:17).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Wed 19 Dec, 11:48–17:35 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 06:05 on Wed 19 Dec to 04:56 on Thu 20 Dec; harivasara ends at 11:48. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 17:35: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 10:09, which here ends before harivasara does.
