Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Wed 23 Jun in Pāthardi?
Nirjala Ekadashi is on Wed 23 Jun: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 03:09 to 00:14 Thu.
Ekadashi ended at 00:14; 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 Wed 23 Jun only, at 05:52: Wed 23 Jun. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 03:09, before it (04:16–05:52).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Thu 24 Jun, 05:52–19:09 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 00:14 on Thu 24 Jun to 20:53 on Thu 24 Jun; harivasara ends at 05:24. So parana runs from sunrise on Thu 24 Jun, 05:52. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:09: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:31.
The rule
