Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Wed 7 Jul in Sevan?
Devshayani Ekadashi is on Wed 7 Jul: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 03:50 to 01:29 Thu.
Ekadashi ended at 01:29; 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 Wed 7 Jul only, at 05:36: Wed 7 Jul. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 03:50, before it (04:00–05:36).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Thu 8 Jul, 06:54–20:32 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 01:29 on Thu 8 Jul to 23:08 on Thu 8 Jul; harivasara ends at 06:54. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 20:32: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:36.
