Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Wed 3 Jun in Sevan?
Nirjala Ekadashi is on Wed 3 Jun: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 18:26 Tue to 18:31.
Ekadashi ended at 18:31 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 3 Jun only, at 06:30: Wed 3 Jun. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 18:26 Tue, before it (04:54–06:30).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Thu 4 Jun, 06:30–19:03
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 18:31 on Wed 3 Jun to 19:03 on Thu 4 Jun; harivasara ends at 00:39. So parana runs from sunrise on Thu 4 Jun, 06:30. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:29.
