Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Thu 31 May or Fri 1 Jun in Diffa?

Smarta · For Smartas, Nirjala Ekadashi is on Thu 31 May: Ekadashi holds sunrise that day. Vaishnavas fast on Fri 1 Jun.

Dashami until 04:48, inside arunodaya; Ekadashi at sunrise. Ekadashi: 04:48 to 02:02 Fri.

Ekadashi ended at 02:02; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 04:48 Thu to 02:02.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC+1). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.

Smarta

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Thu 31 May only, at 05:41: Thu 31 May.

Vaishnava

Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Thu 31 May Dashami lasts until 04:48, inside arunodaya (04:05–05:41), so that Ekadashi is pierced. Ekadashi ends at 02:02, so Vaishnavas fast on Fri 1 Jun: Fri 1 Jun.

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Fri 1 Jun, 07:15–18:33 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 02:02 on Fri 1 Jun to 22:52 on Fri 1 Jun; harivasara ends at 07:15. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:33: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:16.

Vaishnava · Sat 2 Jun, 05:41–18:33 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)

Dwadashi ends at 22:52 Fri on Sat 2 Jun, in the night, before arunodaya (04:05): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 05:41, to sunset, 18:33, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.

The rule

Jyeshtha Shukla Ekadashi

The Ekadashi fast runs from sunrise until parana the next day.

Smarta
Ekadashi at sunrise; over two sunrises the first, or the second when Dwadashi grows too; with none, the day it is current (Nirnayasindhu).
Vaishnava
Ekadashi through arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise, unpierced by Dashami; over two sunrises, the second.
Breaking the fast
on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara).
