Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Sat 5 Jun in Sevan?
Nirjala Ekadashi is on Sat 5 Jun: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 03:10 to 00:36 Sun.
Ekadashi ended at 00:36; 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 Sat 5 Jun only, at 05:30: Sat 5 Jun. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 03:10, before it (03:54–05:30).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sun 6 Jun, 05:58–20:27 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 00:36 on Sun 6 Jun to 22:03 on Sun 6 Jun; harivasara ends at 05:58. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 20:27: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:29.
