Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Thu 14 Jun in Pāthardi?
Nirjala Ekadashi is on Thu 14 Jun: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 03:17 to 01:04 Fri.
Ekadashi ended at 01:04; 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 Thu 14 Jun only, at 05:51: Thu 14 Jun. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 03:17, before it (04:15–05:51).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Fri 15 Jun, 06:33–19:08 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 01:04 on Fri 15 Jun to 23:00 on Fri 15 Jun; harivasara ends at 06:33. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:08: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:30.
