Why is Parsva Ekadashi on Wed 3 Sep in Sevan?
Parsva Ekadashi is on Wed 3 Sep: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 02:23 to 02:52 Thu.
Ekadashi ended at 02:52; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 02:23 Wed to 02:52.
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 Wed 3 Sep only, at 06:29: Wed 3 Sep. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 02:23, before it (04:53–06:29).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Thu 4 Sep, 08:49–19:27 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 02:52 on Thu 4 Sep to 02:38 on Fri 5 Sep; harivasara ends at 08:49. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:27: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:05.
