Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Fri 31 May in Sevan?
Nirjala Ekadashi is on Fri 31 May: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 01:20 to 00:34 Sat.
Ekadashi ended at 00:34; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 01:20 Fri to 00:34.
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 Fri 31 May only, at 05:32: Fri 31 May. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 01:20, before it (03:56–05:32).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sat 1 Jun, 06:30–20:23 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 00:34 on Sat 1 Jun to 00:16 on Sun 2 Jun; harivasara ends at 06:30. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 20:23: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:30.
