Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Mon 11 Jun in Pāthardi?
Nirjala Ekadashi is on Mon 11 Jun: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 21:16 Sun to 22:45.
Ekadashi ended at 22:45 Mon; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
One row per day, on one clock (IST). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Mon 11 Jun only, at 05:50: Mon 11 Jun. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 21:16 Sun, before it (04:14–05:50).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Tue 12 Jun, 05:51–19:07 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 22:45 on Mon 11 Jun to 23:39 on Tue 12 Jun; harivasara ends at 04:59. So parana runs from sunrise on Tue 12 Jun, 05:51. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:07: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:30.
The rule
