Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Sat 23 Jun in Sevan?
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: 01:49 to 02:22 Sun.
Ekadashi ended at 02:22; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 01:49 Sat to 02:22.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+4). 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 05:30: Sat 23 Jun. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 01:49, before it (03:54–05:30).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sun 24 Jun, 08:38–20:34 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 02:22 on Sun 24 Jun to 03:24 on Mon 25 Jun; harivasara ends at 08:38. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 20:34: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:31, which here ends before harivasara does.
