Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Thu 14 Jun in Sevan?
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: 01:47 to 23:34.
Ekadashi ended at 23:34 Thu; 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 Thu 14 Jun only, at 05:29: Thu 14 Jun. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 01:47, before it (03:53–05:29).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Fri 15 Jun, 05:29–20:32 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 23:34 on Thu 14 Jun to 21:30 on Fri 15 Jun; harivasara ends at 05:03. So parana runs from sunrise on Fri 15 Jun, 05:29. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 20:32: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:29.
