Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Fri 19 Jul in Sevan?
Devshayani Ekadashi is on Fri 19 Jul: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 02:02 to 02:55 Sat.
Ekadashi ended at 02:55; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 02:02 Fri to 02:55.
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 19 Jul only, at 04:42: Fri 19 Jul. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 02:02, before it (03:06–04:42).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sat 20 Jul, 09:00–19:26 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 02:55 on Sat 20 Jul to 03:06 on Sun 21 Jul; harivasara ends at 08:58. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:24: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 07:39, which here ends before harivasara does.

The Ekadashi fast runs from sunrise until parana the next day.
