Nirjala Ekadashi is on Sun 30 May: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 22:12 Sat to 00:19 Mon.
Ekadashi ended at 00:19; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 22:12 Sat to 00:19.
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 Sun 30 May only, at 04:30: Sun 30 May. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 22:12 Sat, before it (02:54–04:30).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Mon 31 May, 06:48–19:22 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 00:19 on Mon 31 May to 02:04 on Tue 1 Jun; harivasara ends at 06:46. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:20: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 07:28.
