Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Tue 4 Jul in Thazhecode?
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: 22:15 Mon to 00:29 Wed.
Ekadashi ended at 00:29; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
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 Tue 4 Jul only, at 06:07: Tue 4 Jul. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 22:15 Mon, before it (04:31–06:07).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Wed 5 Jul, 07:05–18:53 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 00:29 on Wed 5 Jul to 02:52 on Thu 6 Jul; harivasara ends at 07:05. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:53: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:40.

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