Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Thu 2 Jul in Sevan?
Devshayani Ekadashi is on Thu 2 Jul: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 04:47 to 05:57 Fri.
Ekadashi holds arunodaya only until 05:57; then Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 04:47 Thu to 05:57.
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 Thu 2 Jul only, at 06:33: Thu 2 Jul. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 04:47, before it (04:57–06:33).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Fri 3 Jul, 12:21–21:34 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 05:57 on Fri 3 Jul to 07:34 on Sat 4 Jul; harivasara ends at 12:21. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 21:34: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:34, which here ends before harivasara does.
