Why is Padmini Ekadashi on Thu 28 Aug or Fri 29 Aug in Sevan?
Smarta · For Smartas, Padmini Ekadashi is on Thu 28 Aug: Ekadashi holds sunrise that day. Vaishnavas fast on Fri 29 Aug.
Dashami until 05:23, inside arunodaya; Ekadashi at sunrise. Ekadashi: 05:23 to 02:30 Fri.
Ekadashi ended at 02:30; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 05:23 Thu to 02:30.
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 Thu 28 Aug only, at 06:22: Thu 28 Aug.
Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Thu 28 Aug Dashami lasts until 05:23, inside arunodaya (04:46–06:22), so that Ekadashi is pierced. Ekadashi ends at 02:30, so Vaishnavas fast on Fri 29 Aug: Fri 29 Aug.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Fri 29 Aug, 07:42–19:37 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 02:30 on Fri 29 Aug to 23:18 on Fri 29 Aug; harivasara ends at 07:42. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:37: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:02.
Vaishnava · Sat 30 Aug, 06:24–19:35 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 23:18 Fri on Sat 30 Aug, in the night, before arunodaya (04:48): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 06:24, to sunset, 19:35, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.
