Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Fri 15 Jul in Sofia?
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: 18:05 Thu to 19:00.
Ekadashi ended at 19:00 Fri; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+2). 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 05:01: Fri 15 Jul. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 18:05 Thu, before it (03:25–05:01).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sat 16 Jul, 05:02–20:02 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 19:00 on Fri 15 Jul to 20:20 on Sat 16 Jul; harivasara ends at 01:20. So parana runs from sunrise on Sat 16 Jul, 05:02. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 20:02: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:02.
