Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Wed 15 Jun in Olean?
Nirjala Ekadashi is on Wed 15 Jun: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 02:25 to 02:16 Thu.
Ekadashi ended at 02:16; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 02:25 Wed to 02:16.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−4). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Wed 15 Jun only, at 05:36: Wed 15 Jun. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 02:25, before it (04:00–05:36).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Thu 16 Jun, 08:20–20:51 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 02:16 on Thu 16 Jun to 02:32 on Fri 17 Jun; harivasara ends at 08:20. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 20:51: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:39.
