Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Tue 20 Jul in Lib?
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: 04:30 to 01:47 Wed.
Ekadashi ended at 01:47; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+12). 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 06:40: Tue 20 Jul. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 04:30, before it (05:04–06:40).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Wed 21 Jul, 07:05–19:12 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 01:47 on Wed 21 Jul to 22:56 on Wed 21 Jul; harivasara ends at 07:05. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 19:12: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 09:11.
