Why is Padmini Ekadashi on Wed 27 May in Pāthardi?
Padmini Ekadashi is on Wed 27 May: Ekadashi and Dwadashi both grow, so Smartas take the later day, and its arunodaya is free of Dashami.
Dashami until 05:11, inside arunodaya; Ekadashi at sunrise. Ekadashi: 05:11 to 06:22 Wed.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 05:11 Tue to 06:22.
Dwadashi: 06:22 Wed to 07:57, longer than its day: it grows too.
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 both sunrises, 05:51 on Tue 26 May and 05:51 on Wed 27 May. Ekadashi (05:11 Tue 26 May to 06:22 Wed 27 May) and Dwadashi (06:22 Wed 27 May to 07:57 Thu 28 May) are both longer than their day; when both grow, Smartas take the later day: Wed 27 May. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: on Tue 26 May Dashami lasts until 05:11, inside it (04:15–05:51); on Wed 27 May Ekadashi holds all of it.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Thu 28 May, 05:51–07:57
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 06:22 on Wed 27 May to 07:57 on Thu 28 May; harivasara ends at 12:46 Wed. So parana runs from sunrise on Thu 28 May, 05:51.
The rule
