Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Wed 10 Jun in Sofia?
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: 22:09 Tue to 22:14.
Ekadashi ended at 22:14 Wed; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+2). 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 04:48: Wed 10 Jun. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 22:09 Tue, before it (03:12–04:48).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Thu 11 Jun, 04:48–20:04 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 22:14 on Wed 10 Jun to 21:35 on Thu 11 Jun; harivasara ends at 04:04. So parana runs from sunrise on Thu 11 Jun, 04:48. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 20:04: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 07:51.
