Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Fri 31 May in Pāthardi?
Nirjala Ekadashi is on Fri 31 May: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 18:45 Thu to 21:19.
Ekadashi ended at 21:19 Fri; 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 Fri 31 May only, at 05:50: Fri 31 May. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 18:45 Thu, before it (04:14–05:50).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sat 1 Jun, 05:50–19:03 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 21:19 on Fri 31 May to 23:52 on Sat 1 Jun; harivasara ends at 03:57. So parana runs from sunrise on Sat 1 Jun, 05:50. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:03: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:29.
