Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Sun 28 May in Pāthardi?
Nirjala Ekadashi is on Sun 28 May: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 21:28 Sat to 23:51.
Ekadashi ended at 23:51 Sun; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
One row per day, on one clock (IST). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Sun 28 May only, at 05:51: Sun 28 May. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 21:28 Sat, before it (04:15–05:51).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Mon 29 May, 06:29–19:02 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 23:51 on Sun 28 May to 02:24 on Tue 30 May; harivasara ends at 06:29. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:02: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:29.
