Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Wed 10 Jun in Diffa?
Nirjala Ekadashi is on Wed 10 Jun: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 20:18 Tue to 20:23.
Ekadashi ended at 20:23 Wed; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Wed 10 Jun only, at 04:50: Wed 10 Jun. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 20:18 Tue, before it (03:14–04:50).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Thu 11 Jun, 04:42–17:35 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 20:23 on Wed 10 Jun to 19:43 on Thu 11 Jun; harivasara ends at 02:13. So parana runs from sunrise on Thu 11 Jun, 04:50. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 17:44: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 07:25.
The rule
