Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Thu 9 Jul in Orting?
Devshayani Ekadashi is on Thu 9 Jul: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 01:12 to 00:10 Fri.
Ekadashi ended at 00:10; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 01:12 Thu to 00:10.
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 Thu 9 Jul only, at 04:22: Thu 9 Jul. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 01:12, before it (02:46–04:22).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Fri 10 Jul, 05:44–20:04 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 00:10 on Fri 10 Jul to 22:25 on Fri 10 Jul; harivasara ends at 05:44. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 20:04: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 07:31.
The rule
Ashadha Shukla Ekadashi
The Ekadashi fast runs from sunrise until parana the next day.
