Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Wed 11 Jul in Sevan?
Devshayani Ekadashi is on Wed 11 Jul: Ekadashi and Dwadashi both grow, so Smartas take the later day, and its arunodaya is free of Dashami.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 03:50 to 06:05 Wed.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 03:50 Tue to 06:05.
Dwadashi: 06:05 Wed to 08:34, longer than its day: it grows too.
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 both sunrises, 05:38 on Tue 10 Jul and 05:38 on Wed 11 Jul. Ekadashi (03:50 Tue 10 Jul to 06:05 Wed 11 Jul) and Dwadashi (06:05 Wed 11 Jul to 08:34 Thu 12 Jul) are both longer than their day; when both grow, Smartas take the later day: Wed 11 Jul. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: over two sunrises, they too fast on the second.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Thu 12 Jul, 05:39–08:34
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 06:05 on Wed 11 Jul to 08:34 on Thu 12 Jul; harivasara ends at 12:42 Wed. So parana runs from sunrise on Thu 12 Jul, 05:39.
The rule
Ashadha Shukla Ekadashi
The Ekadashi fast runs from sunrise until parana the next day.
- Smarta
- Ekadashi at sunrise; over two sunrises the first, or the second when Dwadashi grows too; with none, the day it is current (Nirnayasindhu).
