Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Mon 18 Jun in Sevan?
Nirjala Ekadashi is on Mon 18 Jun: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 01:47 to 02:24 Tue.
Ekadashi ended at 02:24; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 01:47 Mon to 02:24.
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 Mon 18 Jun only, at 04:28: Mon 18 Jun. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 01:47, before it (02:52–04:28).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Tue 19 Jun, 08:41–19:33 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 02:24 on Tue 19 Jun to 03:31 on Wed 20 Jun; harivasara ends at 08:41. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:33: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 07:29, which here ends before harivasara does.
