Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Fri 7 Jun in Sevan?
Nirjala Ekadashi is on Fri 7 Jun: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 02:31 to 04:51 Sat.
Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 04:51; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 02:31 Fri to 04:51.
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 7 Jun only, at 05:29: Fri 7 Jun. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 02:31, before it (03:53–05:29).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sat 8 Jun, 11:28–20:29 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 04:51 on Sat 8 Jun to 07:21 on Sun 9 Jun; harivasara ends at 11:28. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 20:29: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:29, which here ends before harivasara does.
