Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Sat 23 Jun in Davinópolis?
Nirjala Ekadashi is on Sat 23 Jun: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 18:49 Fri to 19:22.
Ekadashi ended at 19:22 Sat; 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 Sat 23 Jun only, at 06:17: Sat 23 Jun. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 18:49 Fri, before it (04:41–06:17).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sun 24 Jun, 06:17–18:06 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 19:22 on Sat 23 Jun to 20:24 on Sun 24 Jun; harivasara ends at 01:38. So parana runs from sunrise on Sun 24 Jun, 06:17. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:06: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:39.
