Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Mon 16 Jun in Pāthardi?
Nirjala Ekadashi is on Mon 16 Jun: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 19:50 Sun to 21:52.
Ekadashi ended at 21:52 Mon; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
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 sunrise on Mon 16 Jun only, at 05:42: Mon 16 Jun. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 19:50 Sun, before it (04:06–05:42).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Tue 17 Jun, 05:42–18:59 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 21:52 on Mon 16 Jun to 00:14 on Wed 18 Jun; harivasara ends at 04:28. So parana runs from sunrise on Tue 17 Jun, 05:42. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:59: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:21.
