Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Fri 5 Jun in Sevan?
Nirjala Ekadashi is on Fri 5 Jun: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 00:40 to 03:06 Sat.
Ekadashi ended at 03:06; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 00:40 Fri to 03:06.
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 Fri 5 Jun only, at 06:30: Fri 5 Jun. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 00:40, before it (04:54–06:30).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sat 6 Jun, 09:39–21:27 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 03:06 on Sat 6 Jun to 05:17 on Sun 7 Jun; harivasara ends at 09:39. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 21:27: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:29, which here ends before harivasara does.
