Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Thu 31 May in Ipameri?
Nirjala Ekadashi is on Thu 31 May: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 00:48 to 22:02.
Ekadashi ended at 22:02 Thu; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
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 Thu 31 May only, at 06:36: Thu 31 May. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 00:48, before it (05:00–06:36).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Fri 1 Jun, 06:36–17:44 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 22:02 on Thu 31 May to 18:52 on Fri 1 Jun; harivasara ends at 03:15. So parana runs from sunrise on Fri 1 Jun, 06:36. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 17:44: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:50.
