Why is Varuthini Ekadashi on Fri 2 May or Sat 3 May in Ipameri?
Smarta · For Smartas, Varuthini Ekadashi is on Fri 2 May: Ekadashi holds sunrise that day. Vaishnavas fast on Sat 3 May.
Dashami until 05:57, inside arunodaya; Ekadashi at sunrise. Ekadashi: 05:57 to 03:25 Sat.
Ekadashi ended at 03:25; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 05:57 Fri to 03:25.
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 Fri 2 May only, at 06:26: Fri 2 May.
Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Fri 2 May Dashami lasts until 05:57, inside arunodaya (04:50–06:26), so that Ekadashi is pierced. Ekadashi ends at 03:25, so Vaishnavas fast on Sat 3 May: Sat 3 May.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Sat 3 May, 08:47–17:52 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 03:25 on Sat 3 May to 00:51 on Sun 4 May; harivasara ends at 08:47. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 17:52: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:43, which here ends before harivasara does.
Vaishnava · Sun 4 May, 06:26–17:51 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 00:51 on Sun 4 May, in the night, before arunodaya (04:50): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 06:26, to sunset, 17:51, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.
