Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Mon 14 Jun in Sofia?
Nirjala Ekadashi is on Mon 14 Jun: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 23:42 Sun to 23:38.
Ekadashi ended at 23:38 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 14 Jun only, at 05:48: Mon 14 Jun. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 23:42 Sun, before it (04:12–05:48).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Tue 15 Jun, 05:48–21:06 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 23:38 on Mon 14 Jun to 00:01 on Wed 16 Jun; harivasara ends at 05:44. So parana runs from sunrise on Tue 15 Jun, 05:48. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 21:06: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:51.
