Why is Parama Ekadashi on Sat 11 Jul in Ipameri?
Parama Ekadashi is on Sat 11 Jul: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 01:08 to 23:53.
Ekadashi ended at 23:53 Sat; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
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 Sat 11 Jul only, at 06:44: Sat 11 Jul. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 01:08, before it (05:08–06:44).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sun 12 Jul, 06:44–17:52 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 23:53 on Sat 11 Jul to 22:56 on Sun 12 Jul; harivasara ends at 05:39. So parana runs from sunrise on Sun 12 Jul, 06:44. 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.
