Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Fri 16 Jul in Sevan?
Devshayani Ekadashi is on Fri 16 Jul: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 00:40 to 00:50 Sat.
Ekadashi ended at 00:50; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
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 Fri 16 Jul only, at 04:42: Fri 16 Jul. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 00:40, before it (03:06–04:42).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sat 17 Jul, 07:00–19:28 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 00:50 on Sat 17 Jul to 01:27 on Sun 18 Jul; harivasara ends at 07:00. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:28: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 07:40.
