Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Thu 2 Jul in Diffa?
Devshayani Ekadashi is on Thu 2 Jul: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 19:04 Wed to 17:03.
Ekadashi ended at 17:03 Thu; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+1). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Thu 2 Jul only, at 03:46: Thu 2 Jul. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 19:04 Wed, before it (02:10–03:46).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Fri 3 Jul, 05:46–16:23
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 17:03 on Thu 2 Jul to 14:23 on Fri 3 Jul; harivasara ends at 22:23 Thu. So parana runs from sunrise on Fri 3 Jul, 03:46. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 06:21.
The rule
Ashadha Shukla Ekadashi
The Ekadashi fast runs from sunrise until parana the next day.
