Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Sat 20 Jun in Pāthardi?
Nirjala Ekadashi is on Sat 20 Jun: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 18:53 Fri to 20:49.
Ekadashi ended at 20:49 Sat; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
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 sunrise on Sat 20 Jun only, at 05:51: Sat 20 Jun. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 18:53 Fri, before it (04:15–05:51).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sun 21 Jun, 05:52–19:09 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 20:49 on Sat 20 Jun to 23:05 on Sun 21 Jun; harivasara ends at 03:23. So parana runs from sunrise on Sun 21 Jun, 05:52. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:09: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:31.
The rule
