Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Fri 15 Jul in Chahārbāgh?
Devshayani Ekadashi is on Fri 15 Jul: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 23:14 Thu to 01:08 Sat.

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Fri 15 Jul only, at 06:02: Fri 15 Jul. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 23:14 Thu, before it (04:26–06:02).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sat 16 Jul, 07:29–20:22 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 01:08 on Sat 16 Jul to 02:32 on Sun 17 Jul; harivasara ends at 07:29. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 20:22: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:54.
