Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Mon 12 Jun in Baoding?
Nirjala Ekadashi is on Mon 12 Jun: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 22:47 Sun to 23:28.
Ekadashi ended at 23:28 Mon; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+8). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Mon 12 Jun only, at 04:52: Mon 12 Jun. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 22:47 Sun, before it (03:16–04:52).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Tue 13 Jun, 05:46–19:44 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 23:28 on Mon 12 Jun to 00:39 on Wed 14 Jun; harivasara ends at 05:46. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:44: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 07:50.
