Why is Padmini Ekadashi on Tue 26 May in Chahārbāgh?
Padmini Ekadashi is on Tue 26 May: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 03:11 to 04:22 Wed.
Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 04:22; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 03:11 Tue to 04:22.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+3:30). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Tue 26 May only, at 04:54: Tue 26 May. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 03:11, before it (03:18–04:54).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Wed 27 May, 10:46–19:14 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 04:22 on Wed 27 May to 05:57 on Thu 28 May; harivasara ends at 10:46. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:14: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 07:46, which here ends before harivasara does.
