Why is Parsva Ekadashi on Fri 24 Sep in Sevan?
Parsva Ekadashi is on Fri 24 Sep: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 03:12 to 00:56 Sat.
Ekadashi ended at 00:56; 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 Fri 24 Sep only, at 07:49: Fri 24 Sep. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 03:12, before it (06:13–07:49).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sat 25 Sep, 07:50–19:51 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 00:56 on Sat 25 Sep to 22:47 on Sat 25 Sep; harivasara ends at 06:23. So parana runs from sunrise on Sat 25 Sep, 07:50. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:51: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 10:14.
