Why is Devshayani Ekadashi on Sat 25 Jul?
In New Delhi
Devshayani Ekadashi is on Sat 25 Jul: Ekadashi holds that sunrise and all of its arunodaya.
Dashami through all of arunodaya and at sunrise; Ekadashi begins at 09:13.
Ekadashi through all of arunodaya and at sunrise. Ekadashi: 09:13 Fri to 11:34.
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 Sat 25 Jul only, at 05:38: Sat 25 Jul. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 09:13 Fri, before it (04:02–05:38).
Breaking the fast
Smarta · Vaishnava · Sun 26 Jul, 05:39–13:58
Parana is on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara) and before it ends. Dwadashi runs from 11:34 on Sat 25 Jul to 13:58 on Sun 26 Jul; harivasara ends at 18:10 Sat. So parana runs from sunrise on Sun 26 Jul, 05:39. Dwadashi runs past midday: the Dharmasindhu reports that many keep parana to the first 3 muhurtas after sunrise, until 08:22.
The rule
Ashadha Shukla Ekadashi
The Ekadashi fast runs from sunrise until parana the next day.
- Smarta
- Ekadashi at sunrise; over two sunrises the first, or the second when Dwadashi grows too; with none, the day it is current (Nirnayasindhu).
- Vaishnava
- Ekadashi through arunodaya, the 96 minutes before sunrise, unpierced by Dashami; over two sunrises, the second.
- Breaking the fast
- on Dwadashi, after its first quarter (harivasara).
Each city’s date and times are worked out at its own sunrise and sunset; each city’s page draws the reason.
