Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Wed 30 May in Pāthardi?
Nirjala Ekadashi is on Wed 30 May: Ekadashi and Dwadashi both grow, so Smartas take the later day, and its arunodaya is free of Dashami.
Dashami until 05:41, inside arunodaya; Ekadashi at sunrise. Ekadashi: 05:41 to 07:48 Wed.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 05:41 Tue to 07:48.
Dwadashi: 07:48 Wed to 10:12, longer than its day: it grows too.
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 both sunrises, 05:50 on Tue 29 May and 05:50 on Wed 30 May. Ekadashi (05:41 Tue 29 May to 07:48 Wed 30 May) and Dwadashi (07:48 Wed 30 May to 10:12 Thu 31 May) are both longer than their day; when both grow, Smartas take the later day: Wed 30 May. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: on Tue 29 May Dashami lasts until 05:41, inside it (04:14–05:50); on Wed 30 May Ekadashi holds all of it.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Thu 31 May, 05:50–10:12
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 07:48 on Wed 30 May to 10:12 on Thu 31 May; harivasara ends at 14:24 Wed. So parana runs from sunrise on Thu 31 May, 05:50.
The rule
Jyeshtha Shukla Ekadashi
The Ekadashi fast runs from sunrise until parana the next day.
- Smarta
- Ekadashi at sunrise; over two sunrises the first, or the second when Dwadashi grows too; with none, the day it is current (Nirnayasindhu).
- Vaishnava
- Ekadashi through arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise, unpierced by Dashami; over two sunrises, the second.
- Breaking the fast
- on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara).
