Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Fri 29 Jun in Mapleton?
Devshayani Ekadashi is on Fri 29 Jun: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 03:59 to 01:10 Sat.
Ekadashi ended at 01:10; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−6). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Fri 29 Jun only, at 06:00: Fri 29 Jun. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 03:59, before it (04:24–06:00).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sat 30 Jun, 06:25–20:59 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 01:10 on Sat 30 Jun to 22:08 on Sat 30 Jun; harivasara ends at 06:25. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 20:59: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:00.
