Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Tue 27 May or Wed 28 May in Sevan?

Smarta · For Smartas, Nirjala Ekadashi is on Tue 27 May: Ekadashi holds sunrise that day. Vaishnavas fast on Wed 28 May.

Dashami until 05:17, inside arunodaya; Ekadashi at sunrise. Ekadashi: 05:17 to 04:15 Wed.

Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 04:15; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 05:17 Tue to 04:15.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC+4). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.

Smarta

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Tue 27 May only, at 05:34: Tue 27 May.

Vaishnava

Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Tue 27 May Dashami lasts until 05:17, inside arunodaya (03:58–05:34), so that Ekadashi is pierced. Ekadashi ends at 04:15, so Vaishnavas fast on Wed 28 May: Wed 28 May.

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Wed 28 May, 09:48–20:20 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 04:15 on Wed 28 May to 02:26 on Thu 29 May; harivasara ends at 09:48. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 20:20: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:31, which here ends before harivasara does.

Vaishnava · Thu 29 May, 05:33–20:21 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)

Dwadashi ends at 02:26 on Thu 29 May, in the night, before arunodaya (03:57): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 05:33, to sunset, 20:21, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.

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).
