Why is Padmini Ekadashi on Mon 25 Mar in Pāthardi?
Padmini Ekadashi is on Mon 25 Mar: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 00:00 to 02:07 Tue.
Ekadashi ended at 02:07; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 00:00 Mon to 02:07.
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 25 Mar only, at 06:28: Mon 25 Mar. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 00:00, before it (04:52–06:28).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Tue 26 Mar, 08:43–18:41 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 02:07 on Tue 26 Mar to 04:29 on Wed 27 Mar; harivasara ends at 08:43. 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.
