Why is Padmini Ekadashi on Mon 26 Mar in Diffa?
Padmini Ekadashi is on Mon 26 Mar: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 19:07 Sun to 17:06.
Ekadashi ended at 17:06 Mon; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+1). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Mon 26 Mar only, at 06:09: Mon 26 Mar. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 19:07 Sun, before it (04:33–06:09).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Tue 27 Mar, 06:08–14:23
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 17:06 on Mon 26 Mar to 14:23 on Tue 27 Mar; harivasara ends at 22:25 Mon. So parana runs from sunrise on Tue 27 Mar, 06:08. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:35.
