Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Tue 28 May in Sevan?
Nirjala Ekadashi is on Tue 28 May: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 01:07 to 03:35 Wed.
Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 03:35; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 01:07 Tue to 03:35.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+3). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Tue 28 May only, at 04:32: Tue 28 May. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 01:07, before it (02:56–04:32).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Wed 29 May, 10:16–19:21 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 03:35 on Wed 29 May to 06:09 on Thu 30 May; harivasara ends at 10:14. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:19: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 07:28, which here ends before harivasara does.
