Why is Saphala Ekadashi on Sat 19 Dec in Sevan?
Saphala Ekadashi is on Sat 19 Dec: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 17:00.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 17:00 Fri to 17:55.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+3). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Sat 19 Dec only, at 07:16: Sat 19 Dec. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 17:00 Fri, before it (05:40–07:16).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sun 20 Dec, 07:19–16:35 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 17:55 on Sat 19 Dec to 18:07 on Sun 20 Dec; harivasara ends at 23:58 Sat. So parana runs from sunrise on Sun 20 Dec, 07:17. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 16:33: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:08.
