Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Sat 21 Jun in Sevan?
Nirjala Ekadashi is on Sat 21 Jun: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 00:37 to 01:32 Sun.
Ekadashi ended at 01:32; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 00:37 Sat to 01:32.
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 21 Jun only, at 05:29: Sat 21 Jun. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 00:37, before it (03:53–05:29).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sun 22 Jun, 07:35–20:34 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 01:32 on Sun 22 Jun to 01:44 on Mon 23 Jun; harivasara ends at 07:35. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 20:34: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:30.
