Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Wed 22 Jul in Sevan?
Devshayani Ekadashi is on Wed 22 Jul: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 22:35 Tue to 22:27.
Ekadashi ended at 22:27 Wed; 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 Wed 22 Jul only, at 04:47: Wed 22 Jul. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 22:35 Tue, before it (03:11–04:47).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Thu 23 Jul, 04:48–19:23 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 22:27 on Wed 22 Jul to 21:36 on Thu 23 Jul; harivasara ends at 04:14. So parana runs from sunrise on Thu 23 Jul, 04:48. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:23: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 07:43.
