Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Tue 9 Jul in Sevan?
Devshayani Ekadashi is on Tue 9 Jul: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 01:06 to 03:38 Wed.
Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 03:38; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 01:06 Tue to 03:38.
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 Tue 9 Jul only, at 04:37: Tue 9 Jul. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 01:06, before it (03:01–04:37).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Wed 10 Jul, 10:16–19:32 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 03:38 on Wed 10 Jul to 06:11 on Thu 11 Jul; harivasara ends at 10:16. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:32: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 07:36, which here ends before harivasara does.
