Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Sun 1 Jun in Sevan?
Nirjala Ekadashi is on Sun 1 Jun: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 03:51 to 02:43 Mon.
Ekadashi ended at 02:43; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 03:51 Sun to 02:43.
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 Sun 1 Jun only, at 05:31: Sun 1 Jun. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 03:51, before it (03:55–05:31).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Mon 2 Jun, 08:15–20:24 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 02:43 on Mon 2 Jun to 00:51 on Tue 3 Jun; harivasara ends at 08:15. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 20:24: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:30.
