Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Tue 23 Jun in Pāthardi?
Nirjala Ekadashi is on Tue 23 Jun: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 02:03 to 00:18 Wed.
Ekadashi ended at 00:18; 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 Tue 23 Jun only, at 05:52: Tue 23 Jun. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 02:03, before it (04:16–05:52).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Wed 24 Jun, 05:56–19:10 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 00:18 on Wed 24 Jun to 22:50 on Wed 24 Jun; harivasara ends at 05:56. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:10: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:32.
