Why is Varuthini Ekadashi on Mon 13 Apr in Baoding?
Varuthini Ekadashi is on Mon 13 Apr: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 03:47 to 03:39 Tue.
Ekadashi ended at 03:39; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 03:47 Mon to 03:39.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+8). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Mon 13 Apr only, at 05:45: Mon 13 Apr. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 03:47, before it (04:09–05:45).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Tue 14 Apr, 09:25–18:53 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 03:39 on Tue 14 Apr to 02:42 on Wed 15 Apr; harivasara ends at 09:25. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:53: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:21, which here ends before harivasara does.
