Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Tue 20 Jul in Chhāpar?
Devshayani Ekadashi is on Tue 20 Jul: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 22:00 Mon to 19:17.
Ekadashi ended at 19:17 Tue; 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 20 Jul only, at 05:48: Tue 20 Jul. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 22:00 Mon, before it (04:12–05:48).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Wed 21 Jul, 05:49–16:26
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 19:17 on Tue 20 Jul to 16:26 on Wed 21 Jul; harivasara ends at 00:35. So parana runs from sunrise on Wed 21 Jul, 05:49. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:33.
The rule
Ashadha Shukla Ekadashi
The Ekadashi fast runs from sunrise until parana the next day.
