Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Fri 15 Jul in Deva?
Devshayani Ekadashi is on Fri 15 Jul: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 17:50 Thu to 18:44.
Ekadashi ended at 18:44 Fri; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+1:44). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Fri 15 Jul only, at 04:36: Fri 15 Jul. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 17:50 Thu, before it (03:00–04:36).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sat 16 Jul, 04:37–19:59 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 18:44 on Fri 15 Jul to 20:04 on Sat 16 Jul; harivasara ends at 01:04. So parana runs from sunrise on Sat 16 Jul, 04:37. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:59: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 07:41.
