Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Mon 17 Jun in Sevan?
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: 03:14 to 04:55 Tue.
Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 04:55; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 03:14 Mon to 04:55.
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 Mon 17 Jun only, at 05:29: Mon 17 Jun. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 03:14, before it (03:53–05:29).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Tue 18 Jun, 11:11–20:33 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 04:55 on Tue 18 Jun to 05:58 on Wed 19 Jun; harivasara ends at 11:11. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 20:33: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:30, which here ends before harivasara does.
