Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Fri 28 Jun or Sat 29 Jun in Sevan?
Smarta · For Smartas, Devshayani Ekadashi is on Fri 28 Jun: Ekadashi holds sunrise that day. Vaishnavas fast on Sat 29 Jun.
Dashami until 06:08, inside arunodaya; Ekadashi at sunrise. Ekadashi: 06:08 to 03:30 Sat.
Ekadashi ended at 03:30; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 06:08 Fri to 03:30.
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 Fri 28 Jun only, at 06:31: Fri 28 Jun.
Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Fri 28 Jun Dashami lasts until 06:08, inside arunodaya (04:55–06:31), so that Ekadashi is pierced. Ekadashi ends at 03:30, so Vaishnavas fast on Sat 29 Jun: Sat 29 Jun.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Sat 29 Jun, 08:50–21:34 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 03:30 on Sat 29 Jun to 00:47 on Sun 30 Jun; harivasara ends at 08:50. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 21:34: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:32.
Vaishnava · Sun 30 Jun, 06:32–21:34 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 00:47 on Sun 30 Jun, in the night, before arunodaya (04:56): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 06:32, to sunset, 21:34, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.
