Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Wed 29 May in Pāthardi?
Nirjala Ekadashi is on Wed 29 May: Ekadashi and Dwadashi both grow, so Smartas take the later day, and its arunodaya is free of Dashami.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 03:30 to 05:59 Wed.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 03:30 Tue to 05:59.
Dwadashi: 05:59 Wed to 08:33, longer than its day: it grows too.
One row per day, on one clock (IST). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise. It holds both sunrises, 05:42 on Tue 28 May and 05:42 on Wed 29 May. Ekadashi (03:30 Tue 28 May to 05:59 Wed 29 May) and Dwadashi (05:59 Wed 29 May to 08:33 Thu 30 May) are both longer than their day; when both grow, Smartas take the later day: Wed 29 May. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: over two sunrises, they too fast on the second.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Thu 30 May, 05:41–08:33
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 05:59 on Wed 29 May to 08:33 on Thu 30 May; harivasara ends at 12:37 Wed. So parana runs from sunrise on Thu 30 May, 05:41.
The rule
Jyeshtha Shukla Ekadashi
The Ekadashi fast runs from sunrise until parana the next day.
- Smarta
- Ekadashi at sunrise; over two sunrises the first, or the second when Dwadashi grows too; with none, the day it is current (Nirnayasindhu).
- Vaishnava
- Ekadashi through arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise, unpierced by Dashami; over two sunrises, the second.
- Breaking the fast
- on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara).
