Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Wed 19 Jun or Thu 20 Jun in Sevan?

Smarta · For Smartas, Nirjala Ekadashi is on Wed 19 Jun: Ekadashi holds no sunrise, and a kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current. Vaishnavas fast on Thu 20 Jun.

Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 07:14. Ekadashi: 07:14 to 05:06 Thu.

Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 05:06; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 07:14 Wed to 05:06.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC+4). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.

Smarta

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise. It begins at 07:14 on Wed 19 Jun, after that sunrise (05:29), and ends at 05:06 on Thu 20 Jun, before the next (05:29 Thu): it holds no sunrise. A kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current: Wed 19 Jun.

Vaishnava

Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Wed 19 Jun arunodaya (03:53–05:29) is Dashami. On Thu 20 Jun it holds no Dashami (Ekadashi until 05:06, then Dwadashi): Thu 20 Jun.

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Thu 20 Jun, 10:24–20:33 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 05:06 on Thu 20 Jun to 02:20 on Fri 21 Jun; harivasara ends at 10:24. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 20:33: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:30, which here ends before harivasara does.

Vaishnava · Fri 21 Jun, 05:29–20:33 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)

Dwadashi ends at 02:20 on Fri 21 Jun, in the night, before arunodaya (03:53): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 05:29, to sunset, 20:33, 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).
