Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Fri 30 May in Pāthardi?
Nirjala Ekadashi is on Fri 30 May: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 17:47 Thu to 20:16.
Ekadashi ended at 20:16 Fri; 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 Fri 30 May only, at 05:50: Fri 30 May. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 17:47 Thu, before it (04:14–05:50).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sat 31 May, 05:50–19:03 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 20:16 on Fri 30 May to 22:29 on Sat 31 May; harivasara ends at 02:49. So parana runs from sunrise on Sat 31 May, 05:50. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:03: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:29.
The rule
