Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Fri 29 May in Pāthardi?
Nirjala Ekadashi is on Fri 29 May: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 17:01 Thu to 19:07.
Ekadashi ended at 19:07 Fri; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
One row per day, on one clock (IST). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Fri 29 May only, at 05:51: Fri 29 May. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 17:01 Thu, before it (04:15–05:51).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sat 30 May, 05:50–19:02 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 19:07 on Fri 29 May to 20:43 on Sat 30 May; harivasara ends at 01:31. So parana runs from sunrise on Sat 30 May, 05:50. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:02: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:29.
The rule
