Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Sun 30 May in Sevan?
Nirjala Ekadashi is on Sun 30 May: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 02:17 to 03:33 Mon.
Ekadashi ended at 03:33; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 02:17 Sun to 03:33.
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 30 May only, at 05:32: Sun 30 May. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 02:17, before it (03:56–05:32).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Mon 31 May, 09:59–20:24 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 03:33 on Mon 31 May to 05:18 on Tue 1 Jun; harivasara ends at 09:59. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 20:24: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:30, which here ends before harivasara does.
