Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Sun 2 Jun in Sevan?
Nirjala Ekadashi is on Sun 2 Jun: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 01:33 to 03:55 Mon.
Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 03:55; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 01:33 Sun to 03:55.
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 Sun 2 Jun only, at 05:31: Sun 2 Jun. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 01:33, before it (03:55–05:31).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Mon 3 Jun, 10:31–20:25 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 03:55 on Mon 3 Jun to 06:19 on Tue 4 Jun; harivasara ends at 10:31. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 20:25: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:29, which here ends before harivasara does.
