Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Thu 29 Jun in Diffa?
Devshayani Ekadashi is on Thu 29 Jun: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 22:49 Wed to 22:12.
Ekadashi ended at 22:12 Thu; arunodaya is Dwadashi.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+1). Band: the tithi. Box: Arunodaya. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Thu 29 Jun only, at 05:45: Thu 29 Jun. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 22:49 Wed, before it (04:09–05:45).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Fri 30 Jun, 05:46–18:40 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 22:12 on Thu 29 Jun to 20:47 on Fri 30 Jun; harivasara ends at 03:51. So parana runs from sunrise on Fri 30 Jun, 05:46. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 18:40: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:21.
The rule

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