Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Sun 20 Jun or Mon 21 Jun in Mapleton?
Smarta · For Smartas, Nirjala Ekadashi is on Sun 20 Jun: Ekadashi holds sunrise that day. Vaishnavas fast on Mon 21 Jun.
Dashami until 04:51, inside arunodaya; Ekadashi at sunrise. Ekadashi: 04:51 to 02:02 Mon.
Ekadashi ended at 02:02; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 04:51 Sun to 02:02.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−6). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Sun 20 Jun only, at 05:57: Sun 20 Jun.
Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Sun 20 Jun Dashami lasts until 04:51, inside arunodaya (04:21–05:57), so that Ekadashi is pierced. Ekadashi ends at 02:02, so Vaishnavas fast on Mon 21 Jun: Mon 21 Jun.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Mon 21 Jun, 07:14–20:59 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 02:02 on Mon 21 Jun to 22:52 on Mon 21 Jun; harivasara ends at 07:14. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 20:59: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:57.
Vaishnava · Tue 22 Jun, 05:57–20:59 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 22:52 Mon on Tue 22 Jun, in the night, before arunodaya (04:21): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 05:57, to sunset, 20:59, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.

- Breaking the fast
- on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara).
