Why is Padmini Ekadashi on Tue 26 Jul or Wed 27 Jul in Sevan?
Smarta · For Smartas, Padmini Ekadashi is on Tue 26 Jul: Ekadashi holds no sunrise, and a kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current. Vaishnavas fast on Wed 27 Jul.
Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 06:01. Ekadashi: 06:01 to 03:09 Wed.
Ekadashi ended at 03:09; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 06:01 Tue to 03:09.
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 begins at 06:01 on Tue 26 Jul, after that sunrise (05:51), and ends at 03:09 on Wed 27 Jul, before the next (05:52 Wed): it holds no sunrise. A kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current: Tue 26 Jul.
Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Tue 26 Jul arunodaya (04:15–05:51) is Dashami. On Wed 27 Jul it holds no Dashami (Ekadashi until 03:09, then Dwadashi): Wed 27 Jul.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Wed 27 Jul, 08:22–20:20 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 03:09 on Wed 27 Jul to 00:03 on Thu 28 Jul; harivasara ends at 08:22. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 20:20: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:45.
Vaishnava · Thu 28 Jul, 05:53–20:19 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 00:03 on Thu 28 Jul, in the night, before arunodaya (04:17): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 05:53, to sunset, 20:19, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.
