Why is Parsva Ekadashi on Thu 23 Sep in Sevan?
Parsva Ekadashi is on Thu 23 Sep: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 01:43 to 03:28 Fri.
Ekadashi ended at 03:28; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 01:43 Thu to 03:28.
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 Thu 23 Sep only, at 05:45: Thu 23 Sep. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 01:43, before it (04:09–05:45).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Fri 24 Sep, 09:48–17:54 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 03:28 on Fri 24 Sep to 04:41 on Sat 25 Sep; harivasara ends at 09:46. 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 08:12, which here ends before harivasara does.
