Why is Padmini Ekadashi on Mon 27 Aug in Sevan?
Padmini Ekadashi is on Mon 27 Aug: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 00:50 to 22:58.
Ekadashi ended at 22:58 Mon; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
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 Mon 27 Aug only, at 06:22: Mon 27 Aug. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 00:50, before it (04:46–06:22).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Tue 28 Aug, 06:23–19:38 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 22:58 on Mon 27 Aug to 21:17 on Tue 28 Aug; harivasara ends at 04:33. So parana runs from sunrise on Tue 28 Aug, 06:23. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:38: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:02.
