Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Sat 12 Jul or Sun 13 Jul in Sevan?
Smarta · For Smartas, Devshayani Ekadashi is on Sat 12 Jul: Ekadashi holds no sunrise, and a kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current. Vaishnavas fast on Sun 13 Jul.
Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 07:21.
Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 04:21; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 07:21 Sat to 04:21.
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 begins at 07:21 on Sat 12 Jul, after that sunrise (04:39), and ends at 04:21 on Sun 13 Jul, before the next (04:40 Sun): it holds no sunrise. A kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current: Sat 12 Jul.
Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Sat 12 Jul arunodaya (03:03–04:39) is Dashami. On Sun 13 Jul it holds no Dashami (Ekadashi until 04:21, then Dwadashi): Sun 13 Jul.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Sun 13 Jul, 09:32–19:30 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 04:21 on Sun 13 Jul to 01:03 on Mon 14 Jul; harivasara ends at 09:32. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:30: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 07:38, which here ends before harivasara does.
Vaishnava · Mon 14 Jul, 04:40–19:30 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 01:03 on Mon 14 Jul, in the night, before arunodaya (03:04): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 04:40, to sunset, 19:30, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.
