Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Wed 23 Jul in Sevan?
Devshayani Ekadashi is on Wed 23 Jul: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 02:06 to 02:46 Thu.
Ekadashi ended at 02:46; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 02:06 Wed to 02:46.
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 23 Jul only, at 05:48: Wed 23 Jul. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 02:06, before it (04:12–05:48).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Thu 24 Jul, 08:46–20:22 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 02:46 on Thu 24 Jul to 02:44 on Fri 25 Jul; harivasara ends at 08:46. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 20:22: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:44, which here ends before harivasara does.
