Why is Parsva Ekadashi on Tue 24 Sep in Sevan?
Parsva Ekadashi is on Tue 24 Sep: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 01:33 to 01:22 Wed.
Ekadashi ended at 01:22; 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 Tue 24 Sep only, at 07:49: Tue 24 Sep. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 01:33, before it (06:13–07:49).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Wed 25 Sep, 07:50–19:52 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 01:22 on Wed 25 Sep to 01:38 on Thu 26 Sep; harivasara ends at 07:26. So parana runs from sunrise on Wed 25 Sep, 07:50. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:52: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 10:14.
