Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Sat 22 Jun in Sevan?
Nirjala Ekadashi is on Sat 22 Jun: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 20:58 Fri to 22:15.
Ekadashi ended at 22:15 Sat; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
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 Sat 22 Jun only, at 05:29: Sat 22 Jun. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 20:58 Fri, before it (03:53–05:29).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sun 23 Jun, 05:29–20:34 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 22:15 on Sat 22 Jun to 23:59 on Sun 23 Jun; harivasara ends at 04:41. So parana runs from sunrise on Sun 23 Jun, 05:29. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 20:34: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:30.
