Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Wed 16 Jul in Baoding?
Devshayani Ekadashi is on Wed 16 Jul: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 20:15 Tue to 19:51.
Ekadashi ended at 19:51 Wed; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+8). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Wed 16 Jul only, at 05:05: Wed 16 Jul. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 20:15 Tue, before it (03:29–05:05).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Thu 17 Jul, 05:06–18:39
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 19:51 on Wed 16 Jul to 18:39 on Thu 17 Jul; harivasara ends at 01:33. So parana runs from sunrise on Thu 17 Jul, 05:06. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:01.
The rule
Ashadha Shukla Ekadashi
The Ekadashi fast runs from sunrise until parana the next day.
