Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Sat 30 Jun in Baoding?
Devshayani Ekadashi is on Sat 30 Jun: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 17:59 Fri to 15:10.
Ekadashi ended at 15:10 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 30 Jun only, at 04:55: Sat 30 Jun. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 17:59 Fri, before it (03:19–04:55).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sun 1 Jul, 04:56–12:08
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 15:10 on Sat 30 Jun to 12:08 on Sun 1 Jul; harivasara ends at 20:25 Sat. So parana runs from sunrise on Sun 1 Jul, 04:56.
The rule
Ashadha Shukla Ekadashi
The Ekadashi fast runs from sunrise until parana the next day.
- Smarta
- Ekadashi at sunrise; over two sunrises the first, or the second when Dwadashi grows too; with none, the day it is current (Nirnayasindhu).
- Vaishnava
- Ekadashi through arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise, unpierced by Dashami; over two sunrises, the second.
- Breaking the fast
- on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara).
