Why is Parama Ekadashi on Wed 10 Jul in Ipameri?
Parama Ekadashi is on Wed 10 Jul: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 04:17 to 05:25 Thu.
Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 05:25; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 04:17 Wed to 05:25.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−3). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Wed 10 Jul only, at 06:44: Wed 10 Jul. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 04:17, before it (05:08–06:44).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Thu 11 Jul, 11:48–17:52 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 05:25 on Thu 11 Jul to 06:58 on Fri 12 Jul; harivasara ends at 11:48. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 17:52: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:57, which here ends before harivasara does.
