Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Sun 1 Jul in Baoding?
Devshayani Ekadashi is on Sun 1 Jul: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 20:13 Sat to 19:50.
Ekadashi ended at 19:50 Sun; 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 Sun 1 Jul only, at 04:56: Sun 1 Jul. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 20:13 Sat, before it (03:20–04:56).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Mon 2 Jul, 04:56–19:47 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 19:50 on Sun 1 Jul to 19:57 on Mon 2 Jul; harivasara ends at 01:52. So parana runs from sunrise on Mon 2 Jul, 04:56. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:47: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 07:54.
The rule
