Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Wed 20 Jul in Sevan?
Devshayani Ekadashi is on Wed 20 Jul: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 19:34 Tue to 20:34.
Ekadashi ended at 20:34 Wed; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+5). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Wed 20 Jul only, at 06:45: Wed 20 Jul. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 19:34 Tue, before it (05:09–06:45).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Thu 21 Jul, 06:46–21:25 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 20:34 on Wed 20 Jul to 22:03 on Thu 21 Jul; harivasara ends at 02:56. So parana runs from sunrise on Thu 21 Jul, 06:46. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 21:25: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:42.
