Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Fri 15 Jul in Pāthardi?
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: 00:14 to 02:08 Sat.
Ekadashi ended at 02:08; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 00:14 Fri to 02:08.
One row per day, on one clock (IST). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Fri 15 Jul only, at 05:59: Fri 15 Jul. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 00:14, before it (04:23–05:59).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sat 16 Jul, 08:29–19:10 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 02:08 on Sat 16 Jul to 03:32 on Sun 17 Jul; harivasara ends at 08:29. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:10: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:38.
The rule

The Ekadashi fast runs from sunrise until parana the next day.
