Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Tue 4 Jul in Khmelnytskyi?
Devshayani Ekadashi is on Tue 4 Jul: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 19:45 Mon to 21:59.
Ekadashi ended at 21:59 Tue; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+3). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Tue 4 Jul only, at 05:12: Tue 4 Jul. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 19:45 Mon, before it (03:36–05:12).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Wed 5 Jul, 05:12–21:19 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 21:59 on Tue 4 Jul to 00:22 on Thu 6 Jul; harivasara ends at 04:35. So parana runs from sunrise on Wed 5 Jul, 05:12. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 21:19: Tithika’s convention. 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
