Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Sat 27 Jul in Pāthardi?
Devshayani Ekadashi is on Sat 27 Jul: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 08:45. Ekadashi: 08:45 to 06:22 Sat.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 08:45 Fri to 06:22.
One row per day, on one clock (IST). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Sat 27 Jul only, at 06:04: Sat 27 Jul. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 08:45 Fri, before it (04:28–06:04).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sun 28 Jul, 06:04–19:06 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 03:21 on Sun 28 Jul, in the night, before arunodaya (04:28): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 06:04, to sunset, 19:06, 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).
