Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Fri 6 Jun in Diffa?
Nirjala Ekadashi is on Fri 6 Jun: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 21:46 Thu to 00:18 Sat.
Ekadashi ended at 00:18; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+1). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Fri 6 Jun only, at 05:41: Fri 6 Jun. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 21:46 Thu, before it (04:05–05:41).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sat 7 Jun, 06:56–18:35 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 00:18 on Sat 7 Jun to 02:48 on Sun 8 Jun; harivasara ends at 06:56. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:35: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:16.
