Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Thu 17 Jul or Fri 18 Jul in Sevan?

Smarta · For Smartas, Devshayani Ekadashi is on Thu 17 Jul: Ekadashi holds no sunrise, and a kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current. Vaishnavas fast on Fri 18 Jul.

Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 08:05. Ekadashi: 08:05 to 05:12 Fri.

Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 05:12; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 08:05 Thu to 05:12.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC+5). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.

Smarta

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise. It begins at 08:05 on Thu 17 Jul, after that sunrise (06:43), and ends at 05:12 on Fri 18 Jul, before the next (06:44 Fri): it holds no sunrise. A kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current: Thu 17 Jul.

Vaishnava

Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Thu 17 Jul arunodaya (05:07–06:43) is Dashami. On Fri 18 Jul it holds no Dashami (Ekadashi until 05:12, then Dwadashi): Fri 18 Jul.

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Fri 18 Jul, 10:24–21:27 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 05:12 on Fri 18 Jul to 01:59 on Sat 19 Jul; harivasara ends at 10:24. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 21:27: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:40, which here ends before harivasara does.

Vaishnava · Sat 19 Jul, 06:44–21:27 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)

Dwadashi ends at 01:59 on Sat 19 Jul, in the night, before arunodaya (05:08): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 06:44, to sunset, 21:27, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.

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).
Vaishnava
Ekadashi through arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise, unpierced by Dashami; over two sunrises, the second.
Breaking the fast
on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara).
