Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Wed 12 Jul or Thu 13 Jul in Sevan?
Smarta · For Smartas, Devshayani Ekadashi is on Wed 12 Jul: Ekadashi holds sunrise that day. Vaishnavas fast on Thu 13 Jul.
Dashami until 03:02, inside arunodaya; Ekadashi at sunrise. Ekadashi: 03:02 to 00:50 Thu.
Ekadashi ended at 00:50; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
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 Wed 12 Jul only, at 04:37: Wed 12 Jul.
Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Wed 12 Jul Dashami lasts until 03:02, inside arunodaya (03:01–04:37), so that Ekadashi is pierced. Ekadashi ends at 00:50, so Vaishnavas fast on Thu 13 Jul: Thu 13 Jul.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Thu 13 Jul, 06:21–19:30 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 00:50 on Thu 13 Jul to 22:46 on Thu 13 Jul; harivasara ends at 06:19. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:28: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 07:35.
Vaishnava · Fri 14 Jul, 04:40–19:30 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 22:46 Thu on Fri 14 Jul, in the night, before arunodaya (03:02): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 04:38, to sunset, 19:28, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.
The rule
Ashadha Shukla Ekadashi

- Ekadashi through arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise, unpierced by Dashami; over two sunrises, the second.
- Breaking the fast
- on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara).
