Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Fri 12 Jul in Sevan?
Devshayani Ekadashi is on Fri 12 Jul: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 23:32 Thu to 23:01.
Ekadashi ended at 23:01 Fri; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+4). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Fri 12 Jul only, at 05:39: Fri 12 Jul. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 23:32 Thu, before it (04:03–05:39).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sat 13 Jul, 05:40–20:30 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 23:01 on Fri 12 Jul to 22:58 on Sat 13 Jul; harivasara ends at 05:00. So parana runs from sunrise on Sat 13 Jul, 05:40. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 20:30: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:38.
