Why is Parsva Ekadashi on Tue 22 Sep in Sevan?
Parsva Ekadashi is on Tue 22 Sep: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 18:31 Mon to 20:13.
Ekadashi ended at 20:13 Tue; 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 Tue 22 Sep only, at 06:47: Tue 22 Sep. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 18:31 Mon, before it (05:11–06:47).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Wed 23 Sep, 06:48–18:55 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 20:13 on Tue 22 Sep to 21:21 on Wed 23 Sep; harivasara ends at 02:30. So parana runs from sunrise on Wed 23 Sep, 06:48. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:55: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:13.
