Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Tue 11 Jul in Pāthardi?
Devshayani Ekadashi is on Tue 11 Jul: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 02:25 to 00:00 Wed.
Ekadashi ended at 00:00; 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 Tue 11 Jul only, at 05:57: Tue 11 Jul. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 02:25, before it (04:21–05:57).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Wed 12 Jul, 05:58–19:10 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 00:00 on Wed 12 Jul to 21:01 on Wed 12 Jul; harivasara ends at 05:15. So parana runs from sunrise on Wed 12 Jul, 05:58. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:10: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:36.
The rule
Ashadha Shukla Ekadashi
The Ekadashi fast runs from sunrise until parana the next day.
