Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Fri 13 Jun in Ipameri?
Nirjala Ekadashi is on Fri 13 Jun: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 03:09 to 05:11 Sat.
Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 05:11; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 03:09 Fri to 05:11.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−3). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Fri 13 Jun only, at 06:40: Fri 13 Jun. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 03:09, before it (05:04–06:40).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sat 14 Jun, 11:45–17:45 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 05:11 on Sat 14 Jun to 07:27 on Sun 15 Jun; harivasara ends at 11:45. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 17:45: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:53, which here ends before harivasara does.
