Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Mon 27 Jul in Diffa?
Devshayani Ekadashi is on Mon 27 Jul: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 19:55 Sun to 19:40.
Ekadashi ended at 19:40 Mon; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+1). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Mon 27 Jul only, at 05:53: Mon 27 Jul. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 19:55 Sun, before it (04:17–05:53).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Tue 28 Jul, 05:53–18:37
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 19:40 on Mon 27 Jul to 18:37 on Tue 28 Jul; harivasara ends at 01:24. So parana runs from sunrise on Tue 28 Jul, 05:53. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:26.
The rule
Ashadha Shukla Ekadashi
The Ekadashi fast runs from sunrise until parana the next day.

- 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
