Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Wed 4 Jun in Sevan?
Nirjala Ekadashi is on Wed 4 Jun: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 00:17 to 23:38.
Ekadashi ended at 23:38 Wed; 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 Wed 4 Jun only, at 05:30: Wed 4 Jun. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 00:17, before it (03:54–05:30).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Thu 5 Jun, 05:34–20:27 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 23:38 on Wed 4 Jun to 23:21 on Thu 5 Jun; harivasara ends at 05:34. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 20:27: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:29.
