Why is Parsva Ekadashi on Wed 30 Aug in Sevan?
Parsva Ekadashi is on Wed 30 Aug: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 18:01 Tue to 19:17.
Ekadashi ended at 19:17 Wed; 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 Wed 30 Aug only, at 06:25: Wed 30 Aug. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 18:01 Tue, before it (04:49–06:25).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Thu 31 Aug, 06:26–19:33 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 19:17 on Wed 30 Aug to 21:01 on Thu 31 Aug; harivasara ends at 01:43. So parana runs from sunrise on Thu 31 Aug, 06:26. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:33: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:03.
