Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Thu 20 Jun or Fri 21 Jun in Diffa?

Smarta · For Smartas, Nirjala Ekadashi is on Thu 20 Jun: Ekadashi holds no sunrise, and a kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current. Vaishnavas fast on Fri 21 Jun.

Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 07:38. Ekadashi: 07:38 to 05:23 Fri.

Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 05:23; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 07:38 Thu to 05:23.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC+1). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.

Smarta

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise. It begins at 07:38 on Thu 20 Jun, after that sunrise (05:43), and ends at 05:23 on Fri 21 Jun, before the next (05:43 Fri): it holds no sunrise. A kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current: Thu 20 Jun.

Vaishnava

Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Thu 20 Jun arunodaya (04:07–05:43) is Dashami. On Fri 21 Jun it holds no Dashami (Ekadashi until 05:23, then Dwadashi): Fri 21 Jun.

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Fri 21 Jun, 10:52–18:38 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 05:23 on Fri 21 Jun to 03:17 on Sat 22 Jun; harivasara ends at 10:52. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:38: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:18, which here ends before harivasara does.

Vaishnava · Sat 22 Jun, 05:44–18:38 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)

Dwadashi ends at 03:17 on Sat 22 Jun, in the night, before arunodaya (04:08): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 05:44, to sunset, 18:38, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.

The rule

Jyeshtha Shukla Ekadashi

The Ekadashi fast runs from sunrise until parana the next day.

Smarta
Ekadashi at sunrise; over two sunrises the first, or the second when Dwadashi grows too; with none, the day it is current (Nirnayasindhu).
Vaishnava
Ekadashi through arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise, unpierced by Dashami; over two sunrises, the second.
Breaking the fast
on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara).
