Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Sat 6 Jul in Sevan?
Devshayani Ekadashi is on Sat 6 Jul: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 23:28 Fri to 20:36.
Ekadashi ended at 20:36 Sat; 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 Sat 6 Jul only, at 05:35: Sat 6 Jul. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 23:28 Fri, before it (03:59–05:35).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sun 7 Jul, 05:36–17:24
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 20:36 on Sat 6 Jul to 17:24 on Sun 7 Jul; harivasara ends at 01:48. So parana runs from sunrise on Sun 7 Jul, 05:36. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:35.
The rule
