Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Thu 19 Jun in Sevan?
Nirjala Ekadashi is on Thu 19 Jun: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 01:51 to 00:12 Fri.
Ekadashi ended at 00:12; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 01:51 Thu to 00:12.
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 Thu 19 Jun only, at 05:29: Thu 19 Jun. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 01:51, before it (03:53–05:29).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Fri 20 Jun, 05:52–20:33 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 00:12 on Fri 20 Jun to 22:51 on Fri 20 Jun; harivasara ends at 05:52. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 20:33: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:30.
