Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Thu 25 Jun in Chibia?
Nirjala Ekadashi is on Thu 25 Jun: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 13:42.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 13:42 Wed to 15:39.
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 Thu 25 Jun only, at 06:31: Thu 25 Jun. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 13:42 Wed, before it (04:55–06:31).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Fri 26 Jun, 06:31–17:44 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 15:39 on Thu 25 Jun to 17:52 on Fri 26 Jun; harivasara ends at 22:13 Thu. So parana runs from sunrise on Fri 26 Jun, 06:31. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 17:44: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:45.
The rule
