Why is Mokshada Ekadashi on Wed 11 Dec in Sevan?
Mokshada Ekadashi is on Wed 11 Dec: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 02:13 to 23:39.
Ekadashi ended at 23:39 Wed; 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 Wed 11 Dec only, at 08:13: Wed 11 Dec. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 02:13, before it (06:37–08:13).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Thu 12 Dec, 08:14–17:33 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 23:39 on Wed 11 Dec to 20:56 on Thu 12 Dec; harivasara ends at 04:59. So parana runs from sunrise on Thu 12 Dec, 08:14. 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 10:06.
