Why is Parsva Ekadashi on Thu 24 Sep in Sevan?
Parsva Ekadashi is on Thu 24 Sep: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 22:33 Wed to 20:20.
Ekadashi ended at 20:20 Thu; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
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 Thu 24 Sep only, at 06:48: Thu 24 Sep. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 22:33 Wed, before it (05:12–06:48).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Fri 25 Sep, 06:49–17:30
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 20:20 on Thu 24 Sep to 17:30 on Fri 25 Sep; harivasara ends at 01:37. So parana runs from sunrise on Fri 25 Sep, 06:49. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:14.
The rule
