Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Fri 29 Jun or Sat 30 Jun in Olean?
Smarta · For Smartas, Devshayani Ekadashi is on Fri 29 Jun: Ekadashi holds no sunrise, and a kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current. Vaishnavas fast on Sat 30 Jun.
Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 05:59. Ekadashi: 05:59 to 03:10 Sat.
Ekadashi ended at 03:10; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 05:59 Fri to 03:10.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−4). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise. It begins at 05:59 on Fri 29 Jun, after that sunrise (05:40), and ends at 03:10 on Sat 30 Jun, before the next (05:41 Sat): it holds no sunrise. A kshaya Ekadashi is kept on the day it is current: Fri 29 Jun.
Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Fri 29 Jun arunodaya (04:04–05:40) is Dashami. On Sat 30 Jun it holds no Dashami (Ekadashi until 03:10, then Dwadashi): Sat 30 Jun.
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Sat 30 Jun, 08:25–20:53 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 03:10 on Sat 30 Jun to 00:08 on Sun 1 Jul; harivasara ends at 08:25. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 20:53: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:43.
Vaishnava · Sun 1 Jul, 05:41–20:53 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)
Dwadashi ends at 00:08 on Sun 1 Jul, in the night, before arunodaya (04:05): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 05:41, to sunset, 20:53, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.
