Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Mon 17 Jun in Davinópolis?
Nirjala Ekadashi is on Mon 17 Jun: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 20:14 Sun to 21:55.
Ekadashi ended at 21:55 Mon; 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 Mon 17 Jun only, at 06:16: Mon 17 Jun. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 20:14 Sun, before it (04:40–06:16).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Tue 18 Jun, 06:16–18:05 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 21:55 on Mon 17 Jun to 22:58 on Tue 18 Jun; harivasara ends at 04:11. So parana runs from sunrise on Tue 18 Jun, 06:16. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:05: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:38.
