Parama Ekadashi is on Fri 11 Aug: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 03:36 to 05:02 Sat.
Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 05:02; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 03:36 Fri to 05:02.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+4). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Fri 11 Aug only, at 06:06: Fri 11 Aug. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 03:36, before it (04:30–06:06).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sat 12 Aug, 11:29–20:02 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 05:02 on Sat 12 Aug to 06:50 on Sun 13 Aug; harivasara ends at 11:29. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 20:02: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:54, which here ends before harivasara does.
