Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Tue 8 Jul or Wed 9 Jul in Sevan?

Smarta · For Smartas, Devshayani Ekadashi is on Tue 8 Jul: Ekadashi holds sunrise that day. Vaishnavas fast on Wed 9 Jul.

Dashami until 04:27, inside arunodaya; Ekadashi at sunrise. Ekadashi: 04:27 to 03:10 Wed.

Ekadashi ended at 03:10; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 04:27 Tue 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.

Smarta

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Tue 8 Jul only, at 05:37: Tue 8 Jul.

Vaishnava

Vaishnavas test arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise. On Tue 8 Jul Dashami lasts until 04:27, inside arunodaya (04:01–05:37), so that Ekadashi is pierced. Ekadashi ends at 03:10, so Vaishnavas fast on Wed 9 Jul: Wed 9 Jul.

Breaking the fast

Smarta · Wed 9 Jul, 08:39–20:32 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)

Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 03:10 on Wed 9 Jul to 01:05 on Thu 10 Jul; harivasara ends at 08:39. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 20:32: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:36, which here ends before harivasara does.

Vaishnava · Thu 10 Jul, 05:38–20:31 (Trayodashi, sunrise to sunset: Tithika’s convention)

Dwadashi ends at 01:05 on Thu 10 Jul, in the night, before arunodaya (04:02): Tithika counts a Dwadashi that ended in the night as absent, its convention. With no Dwadashi, the Nirnayasindhu has parana on Trayodashi: from sunrise, 05:38, to sunset, 20:31, since parana is a day act: Tithika’s convention.

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).
