Why is Padmini Ekadashi on Sat 23 Feb in Sevan?
Padmini Ekadashi is on Sat 23 Feb: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 01:56 to 04:23 Sun.
Ekadashi ended at 04:23; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 01:56 Sat to 04:23.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+3). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Sat 23 Feb only, at 06:42: Sat 23 Feb. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 01:56, before it (05:06–06:42).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sun 24 Feb, 10:56–17:44 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 04:23 on Sun 24 Feb to 06:26 on Mon 25 Feb; harivasara ends at 10:54. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 17:42: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:53, which here ends before harivasara does.
