Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Sun 28 May in Sevan?
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: 19:58 Sat to 22:21.
Ekadashi ended at 22:21 Sun; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
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 28 May only, at 05:33: Sun 28 May. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 19:58 Sat, before it (03:57–05:33).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Mon 29 May, 05:33–20:22 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 22:21 on Sun 28 May to 00:54 on Tue 30 May; harivasara ends at 04:59. So parana runs from sunrise on Mon 29 May, 05:33. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 20:22: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:31.
