Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Sat 23 Jun in Thazhecode?
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: 03:19 to 03:52 Sun.
Ekadashi ended at 03:52; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 03:19 Sat to 03:52.
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 Sat 23 Jun only, at 06:04: Sat 23 Jun. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 03:19, before it (04:28–06:04).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sun 24 Jun, 10:08–18:52 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 03:52 on Sun 24 Jun to 04:54 on Mon 25 Jun; harivasara ends at 10:08. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:52: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:38, which here ends before harivasara does.
The rule
Jyeshtha Shukla Ekadashi
The Ekadashi fast runs from sunrise until parana the next day.
