Why is Parama Ekadashi on Wed 11 Aug in Sevan?
Parama Ekadashi is on Wed 11 Aug: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 20:39 Tue to 23:08.
Ekadashi ended at 23:08 Wed; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+5). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Wed 11 Aug only, at 07:06: Wed 11 Aug. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 20:39 Tue, before it (05:30–07:06).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Thu 12 Aug, 07:07–21:01 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 23:08 on Wed 11 Aug to 01:28 on Fri 13 Aug; harivasara ends at 05:43. So parana runs from sunrise on Thu 12 Aug, 07:07. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 21:01: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:54.
