Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Fri 3 Jul or Sat 4 Jul in Sevan?
Smarta · For Smartas, Devshayani Ekadashi is on Fri 3 Jul: Ekadashi holds sunrise that day. Vaishnavas fast on Sat 4 Jul.
Dashami until 04:29, inside arunodaya; Ekadashi at sunrise. Ekadashi: 04:29 to 01:55 Sat.
Ekadashi ended at 01:55; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 04:29 Fri to 01:55.
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 3 Jul only, at 04:31: Fri 3 Jul.
Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Fri 3 Jul Dashami lasts until 04:29, inside arunodaya (02:55–04:31), so that Ekadashi is pierced. Ekadashi ends at 01:55, so Vaishnavas fast on Sat 4 Jul: Sat 4 Jul.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Sat 4 Jul, 07:19–19:33 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 01:55 on Sat 4 Jul to 23:22 on Sat 4 Jul; harivasara ends at 07:17. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:31: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 07:31.
Vaishnava · Sun 5 Jul, 04:34–19:33 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 23:22 Sat on Sun 5 Jul, in the night, before arunodaya (02:56): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 04:32, to sunset, 19:31, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.
The rule

- Breaking the fast
- on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara).
