Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Thu 16 Jul in Sevan?
Devshayani Ekadashi is on Thu 16 Jul: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 22:19 Wed to 19:28.
Ekadashi ended at 19:28 Thu; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+4). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Thu 16 Jul only, at 05:42: Thu 16 Jul. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 22:19 Wed, before it (04:06–05:42).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Fri 17 Jul, 05:42–16:26
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 19:28 on Thu 16 Jul to 16:26 on Fri 17 Jul; harivasara ends at 00:43. So parana runs from sunrise on Fri 17 Jul, 05:42. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:40.
The rule
Ashadha Shukla Ekadashi
The Ekadashi fast runs from sunrise until parana the next day.
