Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Wed 7 Jun in Sevan?
Nirjala Ekadashi is on Wed 7 Jun: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 21:55 Tue to 23:29.
Ekadashi ended at 23:29 Wed; 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 Wed 7 Jun only, at 06:29: Wed 7 Jun. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 21:55 Tue, before it (04:53–06:29).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Thu 8 Jun, 06:29–21:28 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 23:29 on Wed 7 Jun to 00:23 on Fri 9 Jun; harivasara ends at 05:42. So parana runs from sunrise on Thu 8 Jun, 06:29. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 21:28: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:29.
