Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Tue 28 Jun in Pāthardi?
Devshayani Ekadashi is on Tue 28 Jun: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 02:39 to 01:35 Wed.
Ekadashi ended at 01:35; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 02:39 Tue to 01:35.
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 28 Jun only, at 05:53: Tue 28 Jun. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 02:39, before it (04:17–05:53).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Wed 29 Jun, 07:25–19:10 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 01:35 on Wed 29 Jun to 00:53 on Thu 30 Jun; harivasara ends at 07:25. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:10: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:33.
The rule

The Ekadashi fast runs from sunrise until parana the next day.
