Why is Saphala Ekadashi on Fri 19 Dec in Sevan?
Saphala Ekadashi is on Fri 19 Dec: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 05:50 to 03:16 Sat.
Ekadashi ended at 03:16; 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 Fri 19 Dec only, at 08:18: Fri 19 Dec. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 05:50, before it (06:42–08:18).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sat 20 Dec, 08:31–17:35 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 03:16 on Sat 20 Dec to 00:15 on Sun 21 Dec; harivasara ends at 08:31. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 17:35: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 10:10.
