Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Sun 6 Jul in Sevan?
Devshayani Ekadashi is on Sun 6 Jul: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 17:29 Sat to 19:45.
Ekadashi ended at 19:45 Sun; 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 Sun 6 Jul only, at 05:36: Sun 6 Jul. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 17:29 Sat, before it (04:00–05:36).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Mon 7 Jul, 05:36–20:33 (sunset, Tithika’s convention)
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 19:45 on Sun 6 Jul to 21:40 on Mon 7 Jul; harivasara ends at 02:14. So parana runs from sunrise on Mon 7 Jul, 05:36. Parana is a day act, so Tithika ends the window at sunset, 20:33: Tithika’s convention. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:35.
The rule
