Why is Nirjala Ekadashi on Sat 30 May in Pāthardi?
Nirjala Ekadashi is on Sat 30 May: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 19:16 Fri to 16:59.
Ekadashi ended at 16:59 Sat; 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 Sat 30 May only, at 05:51: Sat 30 May. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 19:16 Fri, before it (04:15–05:51).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sun 31 May, 05:50–14:44
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 16:59 on Sat 30 May to 14:44 on Sun 31 May; harivasara ends at 22:25 Sat. So parana runs from sunrise on Sun 31 May, 05:50. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:29.
The rule
Jyeshtha Shukla Ekadashi
The Ekadashi fast runs from sunrise until parana the next day.
