Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Wed 18 Jun in Sevan?
Nirjala Ekadashi is on Wed 18 Jun: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 01:26 to 22:53.
Ekadashi ended at 22:53 Wed; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+5). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Wed 18 Jun only, at 06:29: Wed 18 Jun. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 01:26, before it (04:53–06:29).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Thu 19 Jun, 06:29–19:47
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 22:53 on Wed 18 Jun to 19:47 on Thu 19 Jun; harivasara ends at 04:06. So parana runs from sunrise on Thu 19 Jun, 06:29. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:29.
