Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Sun 29 May in Sevan?
Nirjala Ekadashi is on Sun 29 May: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 22:30 Sat to 00:27 Mon.
Ekadashi ended at 00:27; 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 Sun 29 May only, at 05:33: Sun 29 May. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 22:30 Sat, before it (03:57–05:33).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Mon 30 May, 07:01–20:23 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 00:27 on Mon 30 May to 02:44 on Tue 31 May; harivasara ends at 07:01. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 20:23: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:30.
