Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Sun 30 May in Sevan?
Nirjala Ekadashi is on Sun 30 May: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 23:47 Sat to 22:00.
Ekadashi ended at 22:00 Sun; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
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 Sun 30 May only, at 06:32: Sun 30 May. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 23:47 Sat, before it (04:56–06:32).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Mon 31 May, 06:32–19:32
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 22:00 on Sun 30 May to 19:32 on Mon 31 May; harivasara ends at 03:23. So parana runs from sunrise on Mon 31 May, 06:32. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:30.
The rule
