Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Fri 30 May in Sevan?
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: 16:17 Thu to 18:46.
Ekadashi ended at 18:46 Fri; 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 Fri 30 May only, at 05:32: Fri 30 May. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 16:17 Thu, before it (03:56–05:32).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sat 31 May, 05:32–20:23 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 18:46 on Fri 30 May to 20:59 on Sat 31 May; harivasara ends at 01:19. So parana runs from sunrise on Sat 31 May, 05:32. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 20:23: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:30.
