Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Fri 26 Jul or Sat 27 Jul in Sevan?

Smarta · For Smartas, Devshayani Ekadashi is on Fri 26 Jul: Ekadashi holds no sunrise, and a kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current. Vaishnavas fast on Sat 27 Jul.

Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 07:15. Ekadashi: 07:15 to 04:52 Sat.

Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 04:52; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 07:15 Fri to 04:52.

One row per day, on one clock (UTC+4). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.

Smarta

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise. It begins at 07:15 on Fri 26 Jul, after that sunrise (05:51), and ends at 04:52 on Sat 27 Jul, before the next (05:52 Sat): it holds no sunrise. A kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current: Fri 26 Jul.

Vaishnava

Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Fri 26 Jul arunodaya (04:15–05:51) is Dashami. On Sat 27 Jul it holds no Dashami (Ekadashi until 04:52, then Dwadashi): Sat 27 Jul.

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Sat 27 Jul, 10:07–20:19 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 04:52 on Sat 27 Jul to 01:51 on Sun 28 Jul; harivasara ends at 10:07. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 20:19: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:45, which here ends before harivasara does.

Vaishnava · Sun 28 Jul, 05:53–20:18 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)

Dwadashi ends at 01:51 on Sun 28 Jul, in the night, before arunodaya (04:17): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 05:53, to sunset, 20:18, 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).
