Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Sat 20 Jul in Baoding?
Devshayani Ekadashi is on Sat 20 Jul: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 20:11 Fri to 18:51.
Ekadashi ended at 18:51 Sat; 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 Sat 20 Jul only, at 05:08: Sat 20 Jul. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 20:11 Fri, before it (03:32–05:08).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sun 21 Jul, 05:09–17:52
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 18:51 on Sat 20 Jul to 17:52 on Sun 21 Jul; harivasara ends at 00:36. So parana runs from sunrise on Sun 21 Jul, 05:09. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:03.
The rule
Ashadha Shukla Ekadashi
The Ekadashi fast runs from sunrise until parana the next day.
