Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Tue 13 Jul or Wed 14 Jul in Sevan?
Smarta · For Smartas, Devshayani Ekadashi is on Tue 13 Jul: Ekadashi holds no sunrise, and a kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current. Vaishnavas fast on Wed 14 Jul.
Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 06:10. Ekadashi: 06:10 to 04:16 Wed.
Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 04:16; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 06:10 Tue to 04:16.
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 06:10 on Tue 13 Jul, after that sunrise (04:39), and ends at 04:16 on Wed 14 Jul, before the next (04:40 Wed): it holds no sunrise. A kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current: Tue 13 Jul.
Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Tue 13 Jul arunodaya (03:03–04:39) is Dashami. On Wed 14 Jul it holds no Dashami (Ekadashi until 04:16, then Dwadashi): Wed 14 Jul.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Wed 14 Jul, 09:37–19:30 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 04:16 on Wed 14 Jul to 01:41 on Thu 15 Jul; harivasara ends at 09:37. 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 · Thu 15 Jul, 04:41–19:29 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 01:41 on Thu 15 Jul, in the night, before arunodaya (03:05): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 04:41, to sunset, 19:29, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.
