Why is Parsva Ekadashi on Sat 6 Sep in Sevan?
Parsva Ekadashi is on Sat 6 Sep: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 01:08 to 23:46.
Ekadashi ended at 23:46 Sat; 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 Sat 6 Sep only, at 07:31: Sat 6 Sep. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 01:08, before it (05:55–07:31).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sun 7 Sep, 07:32–20:23 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 23:46 on Sat 6 Sep to 22:40 on Sun 7 Sep; harivasara ends at 05:29. So parana runs from sunrise on Sun 7 Sep, 07:32. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 20:23: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 10:06.
