Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Tue 2 Jul in Pāthardi?
Devshayani Ekadashi is on Tue 2 Jul: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 19:31 Mon to 21:47.
Ekadashi ended at 21:47 Tue; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
One row per day, on one clock (IST). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Tue 2 Jul only, at 05:54: Tue 2 Jul. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 19:31 Mon, before it (04:18–05:54).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Wed 3 Jul, 05:55–19:11 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 21:47 on Tue 2 Jul to 23:49 on Wed 3 Jul; harivasara ends at 04:18. So parana runs from sunrise on Wed 3 Jul, 05:55. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:11: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:34.
The rule
Ashadha Shukla Ekadashi
The Ekadashi fast runs from sunrise until parana the next day.
