Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Thu 29 Jun in Sevan?
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: 01:49 to 01:12 Fri.
Ekadashi ended at 01:12; arunodaya is Dwadashi. Ekadashi: 01:49 Thu to 01:12.
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 Thu 29 Jun only, at 05:32: Thu 29 Jun. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 01:49, before it (03:56–05:32).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Fri 30 Jun, 06:51–20:34 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 01:12 on Fri 30 Jun to 23:47 on Fri 30 Jun; harivasara ends at 06:51. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 20:34: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:32.
