Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Wed 25 Jul in Sevan?
Devshayani Ekadashi is on Wed 25 Jul: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 04:51 to 06:14 Thu.
Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 06:14; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 04:51 Wed to 06:14.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+5). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Wed 25 Jul only, at 06:50: Wed 25 Jul. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 04:51, before it (05:14–06:50).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Thu 26 Jul, 12:26–21:21 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 06:14 on Thu 26 Jul to 07:01 on Fri 27 Jul; harivasara ends at 12:26. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 21:21: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:45, which here ends before harivasara does.
