Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Wed 24 Jul in Pāthardi?
Devshayani Ekadashi is on Wed 24 Jul: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 00:01 to 01:27 Thu.
Ekadashi ended at 01:27; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
One row per day, on one clock (IST). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Wed 24 Jul only, at 06:02: Wed 24 Jul. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 00:01, before it (04:26–06:02).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Thu 25 Jul, 07:54–19:07 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 01:27 on Thu 25 Jul to 03:15 on Fri 26 Jul; harivasara ends at 07:54. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:07: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:39.
