Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Thu 20 Jun in Olean?
Nirjala Ekadashi is on Thu 20 Jun: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 02:38 to 00:23 Fri.
Ekadashi ended at 00:23; 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 Thu 20 Jun only, at 05:37: Thu 20 Jun. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 02:38, before it (04:01–05:37).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Fri 21 Jun, 05:52–20:53 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 00:23 on Fri 21 Jun to 22:17 on Fri 21 Jun; harivasara ends at 05:52. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 20:53: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:40.
