Why is Padmini Ekadashi on Mon 26 Mar in Pāthardi?
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: 23:37 Sun to 21:36.
Ekadashi ended at 21:36 Mon; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
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 sunrise on Mon 26 Mar only, at 06:28: Mon 26 Mar. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 23:37 Sun, before it (04:52–06:28).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Tue 27 Mar, 06:27–18:41 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 21:36 on Mon 26 Mar to 18:53 on Tue 27 Mar; harivasara ends at 02:55. So parana runs from sunrise on Tue 27 Mar, 06:27. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:41: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:54.
