Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Wed 8 Jun in Sevan?
Nirjala Ekadashi is on Wed 8 Jun: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 18:43 Tue to 19:29.
Ekadashi ended at 19:29 Wed; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
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 Wed 8 Jun only, at 04:29: Wed 8 Jun. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 18:43 Tue, before it (02:53–04:29).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Thu 9 Jun, 04:29–19:28 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 19:29 on Wed 8 Jun to 20:45 on Thu 9 Jun; harivasara ends at 01:48. So parana runs from sunrise on Thu 9 Jun, 04:29. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:28: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 07:29.
