Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Fri 15 Jul in Sevan?
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: 19:03 Thu to 19:58.
Ekadashi ended at 19:58 Fri; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
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 15 Jul only, at 04:39: Fri 15 Jul. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 19:03 Thu, before it (03:03–04:39).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sat 16 Jul, 04:42–19:29 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 19:58 on Fri 15 Jul to 21:18 on Sat 16 Jul; harivasara ends at 02:18. So parana runs from sunrise on Sat 16 Jul, 04:40. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:27: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 07:37.
